Stairways to heaven: England's top 10 cathedrals
England’s cathedrals are booming, even as parish churches are in decline. Attendance at Church of England cathedral services is up 14% in a decade and that does not include tourist visits.

‘DISGRACE, RIDICULE, HATRED, CONTEMPT AND REPROACH’: THE IMPEACHMENTS OF ANDREW JOHNSON AND DONALD TRUMP
“There has been no President in the history of our Country who has been treated so badly as I have,” complained President Donald Trump as the House of Representatives began its impeachment inquiry in September 2019.[1] Only three other Presidents have faced impeachment inquiries, and they certainly felt the weight of the world had fallen upon them too.

It may be a challenge to find reasons for optimism, let alone thankfulness. But as the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, know that the data clearly show that a great many things are improving. But please don’t take my word for it. To see the evidence for yourself, just spend some time poking around the data on HumanProgress.org. Our database documents progress in areas as diverse as air travel safety (welcome news for those traveling for the holiday) and declining rates of hunger and poverty.
