Two years ago, allegations of rape destroyed Armie Hammer's Hollywood career, an experience the actor discussed at length with our Writer at Large James Kirchick in an exclusive interview for us. This week, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office officially dropped its case against Hammer. Read Kirchick's report on the announcement, and more of my favorite stories—the Trumpification of Putin's chef turned mercenary; a dispatch from the W.G.A. picket lines; why expats are moving to Athens—in the newest issue of AIR MAIL. —Nathan King, Deputy Editor
