aaron sorkin has turned the last three years changing ""to kill a mockingbird "into a broadway sensation. what that can teach us about race intolerance. but first here's my take. as we watch britain go through brexit, it's easy to view the decision to depart the european union as an act of foolishness, a self-inflicted wound that will impoverish britons for years to come. europe is after all britain's largest market, taking in half of the country's exports. losing special access to it is a high price to pay for some symbolic gains in sovereignty. the brexit debacle sheds a light on europe itself and one that sees it as stop working, for many of the people at its western european core. i say this as an ardent supporter of the european union, the u.s. and the eu have been the two main? gens behind a world based on open markets, liberty and law, human rights and global warfare. these values will likely be eroded if the strength and purpose of either of these centers wanes. for the last three decades the european project has wandered off course. what began as a community of nations cooperati
