Colin Powell

The most dangerous strategy we could imagine to subvert the vote was made possible by the Supreme Court itself.

Remembering some of the artists, innovators and thinkers we lost in the past year.

He was a lifelong fixer of problems, but George W. Bush was the one he couldn’t solve.

Mr. Armitage, who was the first guest speaker at Mr. Powell’s funeral ceremony, was his closest friend after serving alongside him in the Vietnam War. Mr. Powell later chose Mr. Armitage to be his deputy secretary of state.

Michael K. Powell described his father as a “great lion with a big heart,” as he delivered a touching eulogy at the former secretary of state’s funeral.

Former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell was fond of the Swedish pop group, and in a nod to Powell’s Jamaican heritage, the band also played Bob Marley’s song “Three Little Birds.”

The funeral ceremony for the former secretary of state was attended by President Biden and the first lady, Jill Biden, as well as former presidents and secretaries of state, and family and friends.

Republicans and Democrats, including President Biden and two of his predecessors, were at the Washington National Cathedral to honor the former secretary of state.

He broke many barriers but was outplayed by masters of deceit.

He was Black and Republican, a soldier and a diplomat — and his life holds a particular message for a nation whose democracy is increasingly in peril.

The world would have been a very different place if he had been elected president in 1996.

Colin Powell, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of state and national security adviser, died on Monday.

President Biden honored Mr. Powell, the nation’s first Black national security adviser, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of state, calling him a great military leader and a man of overwhelming decency.

Deaths among people who have been fully vaccinated remain rare, but older adults and those with compromised immune systems are at much higher risk.

Colin Powell had a form of blood cancer that saps natural immunity and also undermines the effects of vaccines like the ones used against Covid-19.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken praised Colin Powell as an “extraordinary leader” and “exceptional diplomat.” A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of state and national security adviser, Mr. Powell died of Covid-19 after battling cancer.

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin described Colin Powell as a “tremendous personal friend and mentor” following Mr. Powell’s death from Covid-19 complications.

As secretary of state, he reluctantly supported President George W. Bush’s push to invade Iraq after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
