July 14. 2017 NYTimes.com » In 2013, Mark Leibovich published 'This Town," an anthropological snapshot of Washington, D.C. in the early 21st century: an unchanging industry town, built on a system of social hierarchies and long-held conventions. For this week's cover story, Leibovich reconsiders Washington under President Trump, whose unpredictability and taste for power have shaken up the city and its major political players — though perhaps not in the way some were hoping. "The swamp feels anything but drained," Leibovich writes, "more like remodeled into a gold-plated hot tub." Elsewhere in the magazine, Benjamin Rachlin writes about the single police officer in Laconia, New Hampshire, who's been assigned to curb the state's excessively high rate of drug overdoses. Photographs by Spencer Lowell, and text by Melia Wollan, examine the growing global campaign to capture endangered phenomena for safekeeping — gathering the natural world into, in essence, arks. And Emily Bazelon considers about how a nation reckons with a leader who violates "norms."
