It's Thursday, October 25th.


** Investigation Into Pipe Bombs Turns Toward Florida
------------------------------------------------------------
Federal authorities investigating a spate of pipe bombs sent this week to several prominent critics of President Trump have turned their attention toward southern Florida, believing that a number of the explosive devices were mailed from the area, as the
New York Times’ William K. Rashbaum, Alan Feuer, and Adam Goldman report (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/nyregion/bomb-explosive-device.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) .


** Changing Story in Saudi
------------------------------------------------------------
Saudi Arabia indicated the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was premeditated and lifted travel restrictions on his eldest son, the latest efforts by Riyadh to defuse a crisis that has rattled the monarchy, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Margherita Stancati and Summer Said report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-attorney-general-says-evidence-points-to-premeditated-killing-of-khashoggi-1540466602?mod=hp_lead_pos5&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) .

** NATO Urges U.S. Not to Quit INF Treaty
------------------------------------------------------------
European members of NATO urged the United States today to try to bring Russia back into compliance with a nuclear arms control treaty rather than quit it, diplomats said, seeking to avoid a split in the alliance that Moscow could exploit, as Reuters’ Robin Emmott reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-nuclear-nato/nato-urges-trump-officials-not-to-quit-nuclear-treaty-diplomats-idUSKCN1MZ2KZ?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) .

** Trade Chiefs Discuss WTO Reform, Without China and the U.S.
------------------------------------------------------------
A group of global trade chiefs met today in Ottowa to start setting a reform agenda for the World Trade Organization, though it’s unclear how far they can take the effort with the U.S. and China excluded from talks, as Bloomberg’s Bryce Baschuk reports (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-25/trade-chiefs-discuss-wto-reform-but-china-and-u-s-won-t-join?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) .

And, according to the CBC (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/thursday-wto-reform-talks-1.4876539?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) , Canada’s International Trade Diversification Minister admitted that the thirteen WTO members who met will not succeed without an endorsement the United States and China.

“Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe…Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.”

It’s been fun this week to play some of my favorite Grateful Dead tunes and to hear about yours. “Jack Straw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOdFUVHUsgI&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=1abfb9a964-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_25_07_40&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-1abfb9a964-145367789) ” is one of my all time favorites. It gives me chills (the good kind) just about every time I turn up the volume. In the ‘90s, the Dead used to play “Jack Straw” with a grinding urgency and power chords for emphasis. I loved seeing that live. I wish I’d been able to see them perform the song this way though, like they did in ’78.

Tell me what you think.
