Note From the EditorOur outlook is primarily beyond the lower 48 states today with headlines out of or relevant to Catalonia, China, and Puerto Rico.

And in Puerto Rico, a tourism official offers a blunt assessment of the challenges and the promise ahead for the island. — Jason Clampet, Editor-in-Chief |
