New Paris Review
Another great issue of The Paris Review is out. Worth the read just for Christopher Stewart’s interview with the seventy-three-year-old Serbian assassin who, in 1979, if it weren’t for his partner chickening out, would have been the first person to use a commercial jet as a missile in a terrorist act. (He hijacked the plane in Chicago in order to fly it to Belgrade and destroy the Communist headquarters there. But it was his partner who could tell from the air which building was HQ. He gave up, but only after refueling in New York and taking off towards Europe.)
