sent 5/22/2018 The story of the boy scout Ambassador to Panama quitting the Trump administration

"The Diplomat Who Quit the Trump Administration," by Jon Lee Anderson, The New Yorker, May 28, 2018 issue  For John Feeley, the Ambassador to Panama, moral failings at home seemed to compound tactical failings abroad. "His values are not my values," John Feeley said, of Trump.  He quit this March.

This is another very sad story, of course.  The details are rather fascinating.  They include changes in the relations and attitudes between the United States and Panama and between the United States and Mexico that will take a long time to restore if they can ever be restored. 

There is also news about the decimation of the State Department, some of which is familiar.
