英文摘要 | The Evening: Domestic Terrorism, Russia Threat, On Your Way Down and MoreOctober 22, 2020 Rise in Domestic TerrorismWhite supremacists and other right-wing extremists accounted for two-thirds of domestic terror attacks so far in 2020, but attacks by antifascist and other leftist groups are rising, according to a new report by CSIS, as the WSJ reports. Russia Election ThreatWhile senior Trump administration officials said this week that Iran has been actively interfering in the presidential election, many intelligence officials said they remained far more concerned about Russia, which in recent days has hacked into state and local computer networks in breaches that could allow Moscow broader access to American voting infrastructure, as the NYT reports. FDA Grants Full Authorization to Gilead’s RemdesivirThe Food and Drug Administration today gave final approval for remdesivir as a treatment for the coronavirus, making the Gilead Sciences drug the first coronavirus therapy to get over the goal line of full marketing approval, as the Washington Post reports. Climate Check"For all the talk about 'building back better,' and the focus on climate change in the public discourse, there is little evidence that countries are doing much more today to accelerate the energy transition than they were before the pandemic," writes CSIS's Nikos Tsafos in his analysis of the International Energy Agency's new World Energy Outlook. CSIS Executive EducationApply today to Understanding Washington, a virtual course designed to give business leaders, embassy officials, and nonprofit professionals the tools to master Washington’s complex policy ecosystem. Led by top CSIS experts and veteran Washington insiders, participants will hone their ability to engage key players, navigate crises, and assess breaking developments. Video ShortsCheck out CSIS’s new series of video shorts: “Testify,” "What's Happening," "Preview," and “High Resolution.” And don’t forget to subscribe to the CSIS YouTube Channel! In That Number67%White supremacists and other like-minded extremists conducted 67 percent of terrorist plots and attacks in the United States in 2020. Anarchist, anti-fascist, and other like-minded attacks and plots comprised 20 percent of terrorist incidents in 2020. Source: CSIS Critical Quote

His music and influence was everywhere—the Meters, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, the Neville Brothers, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, Irma Thomas, and Patti Labelle to name a few. And then there was the spell he cast on the Band and Little Feat, which was also evident coming from speakers everywhere in the Crescent City. I turned on my car the other day, plugged in my phone, and suddenly, the stereo came alive with Little Feat’s live version of Toussaint’s “On Your Way Down.” I didn’t select the song and hadn’t heard Feat’s version in forever. I somehow forgot that they covered it, and didn’t recall the version from their seminal live record “Waiting for Columbus” recorded at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium in August 1977. It may be sacrilegious, but as much as Toussaint’s original with the Meters backing him is immortal, the Little Feat live version is almost as great. Here’s the Feat version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvFVbUOZIpY, and here is Toussaint’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV-bFdf6yu8. Either way, the song is as elegant as anything ever written in music and the lyrics are words to live by. |
