LETTER TO THE EDITOR Our Democracy is More at Stake To the Editor, In 1956 Nikita Khrushchev Russia’s Communist leader said: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U. S. We will destroy you from within” Today Putin is working on the same premise as Khrushchev philosophy. Putin doesn’t want citizens to have certain rights or freedoms. Separation of powers nothing to do with judicial independence, the rule of law, private property, or any of the other things that make liberal societies prosperous and free. Putin’s comments on an understanding of the Western progres- sive world and values it’s, it seems, more sophisticated than that of the Internet trolls whose wages he pays. Nor is it much more complicated than Lenin’s or Khrushchev’s. Putin’s book, he writes: “the anti-democratic movement we see most visibly in countries such as Poland, Hungary, and Turkey today are an increasingly common response to the almost inevitable disap- pointment of democracy.” But, in the 2016 problem that Russia’s interfered in the election in the U.S., Putin involved in many European and Scandinavian countries. What is Democracy? “democracy” comes from two Greek words: “demos” (the people) and “kratia” (power or authority). So, of course, Democracy is a form of government that gives power to the people. But how, when, and to which people? The answer to those questions changes throughout history. In Russia, citizens do not have certain rights. Democracy gives us the right to ask questions, ware as communists can’t. Andrea Kendall-Taylor commented: “Russia and China view efforts to support Democracy—especially U.S. efforts— as thinly veiled attempts to expand U.S. influence and under- mine their regimes and have consistently sought to counter Western democracy promotion.” These efforts are not new, but they are changing in scope and intensity. Since 2014, Russia, in particular, has been taking the fight to Western democracies.

AUERBACH Correspondent American Son, Christopher Demos-Brown’s explosive drama opens TheaterWorks new sea- son in their renovated space in Hartford, with performances October 18-November 23. TheaterWorks Producing Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero stages American Son, and the cast includes Ami Brabson, J Anthony Crane, John Ford Dunker and Michael Genet all making their TheaterWorks debut. TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON (Photo by John Watson) According to Ruggiero, “It was important to me to open the season with a strong piece. This story speaks so vividly to the shape of our world today. It will challenge and provoke our audience — and I hope, create an important and engaging dialogue with our community. It chal- lenges our humanity and understanding of America as we know it today.” Ruggiero added “This explosive drama examines our nation’s racial divide through the eyes of an estranged, interracial couple who rush to the police station when their son’s car has been pulled over. Over the course of an AMI BRABSON evening, the couple’s disparate backgrounds col- lide in this gripping tale about who we are as a nation.” Christopher Demos-Brown’s American Son had its world premiere at Barrington Stage, in 2017, and moved to Broadway last season. The Broadway production was filmed for Netflix.

You hear many different opinions, but only you can make the final deci- sion. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Speak your mind; say what you think. You’ll hear much more information if you open up and share what you know. Allow your imagination to fill in some gaps -- for now. Tonight: Go with a hunch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Be aware of the costs of proceedings as you have been. How realistic do you feel you are? Do you want or need to make some Cryptoquip changes? Share some of your decisions with a financially savvy confidant. Tonight: Weighing ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe the pros and cons of a decision.
