      2012 or NeverJonathan Chait, New York

      And if the GOP can’t win this one, what does that mean for its future? The real reasons behind the party’s existential panic.

      Luv and War at 30,000 FeetS.C. Gwynne, Texas Monthly

      Mikhail Khodorkovsky was the richest man in Russia when he dared confront then president Vladimir Putin. As elections approach and demonstrators spill into the streets, Masha Gessen chronicles the clash of two titans, each of whom has badly underestimated the other.

      Twitter, The Startup That Wouldn’t DieBrad Stone, Businessweek
