Also: today’s stories, including our columnist’s thoughts on how President Trump and President Putin are handling their respective wars; how one woman in Missouri is preserving Black history along Route 66; and an essay from our staff photographer on how persistence, humanity, and instant connection create lasting joy during a recent trip to Côte d’Ivoire.
