October 2006

  • Dream on, Democrats

    Harold Evans

  • Why America still loves Blair

    Harold Evans

    Harold Evans: Much of his appeal is based on being the repository of the trust and hopes that Bush has squandered.

September 2003

  • 'No dogma of any kind interfered with his concept of duty'

    In all he did, Hugo Young was a gracious and lucid guardian of "civilised values". His friendships were enduring because of his warmth, his sense of comedy, his integrity, and his remarkable tolerance for those who did not know what silly mid-off was.

June 2003

  • A scalp for the right

    Harold Evans
    Harold Evans: The humiliation of the New York Times is a drama at three levels: the personal, the political and the journalistic.

July 2002

  • Why US press didn't give Bush a burning

    The papers knew about Dubya's deals in 2000. Strangely, they kept quiet, writes Harold Evans.

December 2001

  • 'Here in the democracy of the dead is a marvellous mosaic of a great city'

    The New York Times aims to run an obituary for every person who died in the twin towers. The handful it prints daily have become required reading. Three months after the attacks, Harold Evans introduces a selection.

October 2001

  • We can't say they didn't warn us

    We were warned. We were warned by some of the best minds in the United States that without a new emphasis on homeland security "Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers".

August 2001

  • Straight shooter

November 2000

  • At last, the endgame

    Harold Evans
    I was up against Garry Kasparov, for 15 years the world chess champion. I captured the pawn offered in his opening gambit. It was a trap. We were on television debating the great Florida fiasco, and he had layers of argument in his arsenal.

  • Quite wrong about Nixon

    Harold Evans

  • White House for sale

    Harold Evans
    Here is a political mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes at his best. Why was Al Gore found in the library on Saturday with a dagger in his back?

  • How Gore lost his head

    Harold Evans
    October 14 2000: The second big presidential debate was like nothing so much as the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava in 1854. Instructed to seize the guns, the 600 rode suicidally in the wrong direction, and Al Gore did the same when he faced George Bush in Boston.
