Side View: We're back!

Welcome back to Bernard Keane's Side View, a curated guide to new and overlooked content on politics, policy, and public affairs. Yes, Side View is back -- albeit in new, improved, individual snackette size. This week: loneliness and dictatorship; the East Germans and pigs; a farewell to two very different politicians; and -- it had to happen -- Trump v the Flying Saucers.
