Watching as, say, Sarah Nir's "Unvarnished" stories brings about much-needed change in the nails industry, or as Kim Barker's exposé on so-called three-quarter houses brings a modicum of dignity to those forced to live in them, or as William Rashbaum, Susanne Craig and Thomas Kaplan investigate the Moreland Commission and turn Albany on its ear, that's my favorite thing about the job.

Indeed, the unvarnished enthusiasm for this event, the mainstream media's rank promotion of this debate as analogous to a blood-and-steel military event; the moral equivalent, say, of Trafalgar or Bunker Hill, and the promotion therefore of Republican nominee Donald Trump as he rises into this event, is a first indication that the political culture, the American situation, the media and the world culture have already become accommodating to Trump.

This interpretation of events is a key underpinning of Web Design: The Evolution of the Digital World 1990-Today (Taschen, $50), a new visual-heavy book from author Rob Ford and editor Julius Wiedemann that does something that hasn't been done on the broader internet in quite a long time: It praises the use of Flash as a creative tool, rather than a bloated malware vessel, and laments the ways that visual convention, technical shifts, and walled gardens have started to rein in much of this unvarnished creativity.

He went, and declared that he could not retract any of the charges he had made against the Church, because the Church could not show him, in Scripture, that any of them were false: Since then your serene majesties and your lordships seek a simple answer, I will give it in this manner, plain and unvarnished: Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the scriptures or clear reason, for I do not trust in the Pope or in the councils alone, since it is well known that they often err and contradict themselves, I am bound to the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God.
