"John le Carré may be gone, but it still seems to us that every story these days is a plot line in one of his tales. Consider the thieves who vandalized Putin's \"doomsday plane.\" Or the 19 year old girl who outsmarted the Nazis. Or, what if Rudy and Don Jr star in a revival of the musical Chicago? Coincidences? Perhaps… Yes, these are strange days. But as it's the holidays, we have a lot of good news for you. Like how the Oxford University Press stopped insulting certain women. Or how looted art is being reunited with its owners. And then there's Tina Turner remembering David Bowie's role in her life. Or the author of Sapiens, recommending three books that will shift your perspective on the world. And speaking of shifting perspectives, we think you'll enjoy this wry, timely spin on a children's classic. It's just as funny as a rediscovered take-down on Picasso and his pals. Finally, don't miss this week's edition of our charming new podcast, Morning Meeting—or our highly selective holiday gift guide. Welcome to Air Mail."
