I got interested in Martin Amis's collection The Rub of Time when I saw it had an index. With his love of both high and low culture, Amis had the potential to produce indexes every bit as good as those you find in Mike Brearley's books. It's the juxtapositions I look for in an index: the unlikely couples who find themselves paired in consecutive entries. Sadly, Mart let me down. Yes, he showed promise, and I enjoyed: Camilla (Parker Bowles), Duchess of Cornwall Camus, Albert Keane, Roy Keats, John Sade, Marquis de Sampras, Pete but there weren't many more.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Belarus began military exercises Monday near its border with Poland and Lithuania, a move coming with tensions already heightened with the two NATO members over Russia-linked Wagner mercenaries moving to Belarus after their short-lived mutiny in Russia. Both Poland and Lithuania have increased border security since thousands of Wagner fighters arrived in Russian-allied Belarus under a deal that ended their armed rebellion in late June and allowed them and their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to avoid criminal charges.

The nation could be thrown into default on June 1 if Congress doesn't act to raise the debt ceiling, or if President Joe Biden fails to act unilaterally. Despite the tight deadline, despite there being no indication that anyone has put pen to paper to write the legislation that gets us out of this mess, and despite the fact that the most vulnerable people are panicking about how they'll survive the coming month, Speaker Kevin McCarthy let Republicans leave Washington on Thursday. They're off officially until June 5 for Memorial Day, which the rest of the nation will celebrate in just one day, on May 29.
