Renewed global order must fire our hearts and hopesWe took the bullet train to Hiroshima, 150 of the smoothest miles Iâ€™ve ever traveled to the most disquieting site Iâ€™ve ever seen. Without quite knowing it, I had long been preparing for this journey, bearing with me a lifetime of images, arguments, lyrics; of anxiety, disbelief, dread.

We can now rest easy, knowing we gave it a shotIt was the evening of September 17, 2020â€”Constitution Day.
