The scariest story of the year
HOW can it be that the New York Times relegates the most terrifying story of this young year to a single column’s width on yesterday’s front page—without attaching so much as a photo to get our blood pumping?

Lifestyles of the Rich & Fascist
The decadent whims of the world's wackiest dictators
They're quirky, vibrant, and they march to the beat of their own military drums, when they're not off committing crimes against humanity. Since time immemorial, autocrats, absolute monarchs, dictators, and less than savory heads of state have shown a penchant for the unconventional and over-the-top, in both their personal lives and political careers.
