Commentary Katharine Hepburn was one of the brightest stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. She was an excellent actress who appeared in dozens of outstanding films, so I often write about her.

Commentary On June 24, mercenaries from the Wagner Group, the Kremlin’s private military company, abandoned the war in Ukraine and marched into Lipetsk, 225 miles south of Moscow, in an apparent insurrection. “This is not a military coup, but a march of justice,” declared the defiant commander of the Wagner mercenary army, Yevgeny Prigozhin, as he…
