Our December 19 issue is now live on the website. Among the highlights: A new short story from Alice McDermott, “You Will Be Missed”; Paul Schaefer’s “A Brief for the Baroque,” in which he discusses Milwaukee’s grand, century-old Basilica of St. Josiphat and the debate over the costs first to build and now to maintain it; and Jo McGowan’s review of Timothy Shriver’s Fully Alive, the story of how disability changed the lives of the Kennedy family and “how the family changed America for people with disability.” Plus, Richard Alleva reviews Jon Stewart’s "astonishingly adroit" feature-film-directorial debut, Rosewater.
