Dalai Lama: Behind Our Anxiety, the Fear of Being Unneeded

There has never been a better time to be alive, and yet in the richest countries, there is a growing sense of unease and helplessness because people no longer feel useful.

The Upshot

Clinton Has Solid Lead in Electoral College; Trump’s Winning Map Is Unclear

It’s still not obvious where and how Donald Trump would win. Based on his travel schedule, his campaign might not know either.

Days from the end of a grueling presidential contest, Mrs. Clinton relinquished her script at a Florida rally.

"On the surface, there is the semblance of stability that is robbing Hillary Clinton of her most potent weapon: Mr. Trump’s self-sabotaging eruptions, which have repeatedly undermined his candidacy. Underneath that veneer, turbulence still reigns, making it difficult for him to overcome all of the obstacles blocking his path to the White House.
The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission."
