Art of the Day: The Baptism of the Rus, a moment so monumental, they made literary traditions and even films about it. The fresco dons the St. Vladimir Cathedral…in Kiev. Prince Vladimir’s conversion to Orthodox Christianity aligned the eastern Slavs toward the west culturally and away from the east. Guess where they were baptized? In the Denier River in the heart of Ukraine. 

Wisdom of the Day:  “Both for historical and institutional reasons, the U.S. political system—and, for that matter, much of the U.S. business community—is ill-suited for producing well-designed “grand strategies.” Kevin Phillips.

• How Do Trump’s 2024 Voters View His First Six Months:
  

Art of the Day: The luscious luxury of a leathered Chesterfield that beseats me for most Bourbons awaits in storage in Las Vegas to return to Tennessee. The warmth from the tanned and refined animal hide covering its distinctly structured frame welcomes us all in its Italian handcraft ingenuity from its centuries of skilled in the craft. No better way to sit and chat for awhile. 

Wisdom of the Day: “Not only the wealth; but the independence and security of a Country appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufactures.” Alexander Hamilton.

Art of the Day: My own photo from the midnight mass on Christmas Eve at Notre Dame in Paris. The lights just took a life of their own, expressing the evervescent and effusive spirit the Cathedral emanated that eve of Christmas Day, marrying solemnity to spirituality in the soul of the evening, as the parishioners gathered in this celebration of God in stone, that I can still feel with just a glance at this photo of what I could not quite grasp at the time. 

Wisdom of the Day: "So if you toe the party line and don’t question the money thing, then you can have a great career as an economist, as a professor of economics." Richard Werner.  

Recommendation of the Day: The Princes of the Yen. The work that put him on the dissident map, Richard Werner's explication of how Japan's economy could invest billions overseas with inflating housing bubbles at home, without major foreign capital flows in -- namely, the banks created the money, the secret the central planners fought so long to hide.
