- After a bumpy election, James Marape returns for a second round as prime minister of PNG. I’m optimistic about Marape.
- I read Trillions by Robin Wigglesworth, a history of the people who created the index fund written by a business journalist.
- I followed commemorations of the Battle of Guadalcanal, especially the excellent coverage from Koroi Hawkins. I am now obsessed with the plastic-encased coconut shell on JFK’s desk and want a replica. I now really see the shell as and its replicas as symbols of transmission, duplication, and proliferation.
