The Index has been off for a few weeks, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t reach back and report our winners from a month ago: Donald Trump (47.3 percent), George Santos (23.6 percent), and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift (18.6 percent). That doesn’t exactly feel like ancient history, does it? And during the subsequent interregnum, those four—and many other professional attention hogs—have stayed in fighting trim, even if they understood that AIR MAIL wasn’t monitoring their every spotlight-grabbing move.
Because it’s not as if Trump and Santos have gone away. Nor have all those people who for some reason still want to be president, a field now augmented by one (Jill Stein), with maybe more to come (Joe Manchin). The British royals have again been popping up everywhere, Oscar Pistorius intruded on our consciousness for the first time in years, and—stop the presses—Daryl Hall sued John Oates.
