This week in the saga
Chapter 14 opens in the long cold after Parkland. For once the country turns to the throne for an answer on guns, and at the school-safety table he offers the unexpected — background checks, an age limit of twenty-one, an end to bump stocks — before pivoting to the crusade he truly wants: arm the teachers, a deterrent he swears would end the shootings for good. Wednesday takes a giant of the pulpit; the king mourns a man he had known for decades. And another front page runs a woman he says he never met, answered with the old familiar rage — the first of the quiet stories that will close on him by the volume's last day.
