Russia’s cross-border attack on Sumy in northeast Ukraine this Palm Sunday killed at least 34 people and injured 117 others. The missile barrage seems particularly egregious considering that Moscow blocked Ukraine’s efforts last month to negotiate a full and unconditional U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

During the tense months of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, the National Security Council’s Middle East expert Gary Sick was inundated daily with hundreds of pages of classified documents describing the rapidly evolving situation in Tehran.
