An in-law, age 95 and on her deathbed, was having some final conversations. She brought up a memory of her own mother, who had lost a 2-year-old daughter to a childhood disease. When she misbehaved as a child, the elderly woman recalled, “My mother would say, ‘I wish you had died ...

Pressed recently on President Donald Trump’s expulsion of three news organizations from the White House, U.S. Sen.
