It was 3 years ago today that Azerbaijan ruthlessly attacked Artsakh and ethnically cleansed it of the 120,000 Armenians who lived there. The only Armenians there now on this ancestral Armenian land are the Artsakh government leaders and Armenian soldiers held illegally in Azeri jails.

Today you're going to see a lot of tributes and assessments of Gloria Steinem (I thought this one very good: www.thecut.com/article/glor...). You'll also see some people raising her involvement with the CIA, and others ignore it. (That obit doesn't even mentioned it.) What was that about?

An 18th-century sepia engraving showing a man in breeches gesturing coldly toward a dark woman with bare breasts, holding her face in her hand in grief, as another man hand him a bag. Other men look on. A sailing ship is visible in the background as is a fort on a hill. Here the Histoire des deux Indes is inferring the tragic story of Inkle and Yarico.
