In almost every industry, in every aspect of life, it feels like the patterns of the past are being scrambled. “Whirl is king, having driven out Zeus,” wrote Aristophanes 2,400 years ago. And—for the first time in living memory—the United States does not seem to be leading the charge. Americans see that a new world is coming into being, but fear it is one being shaped in distant lands and by foreign people....

Gretchen Carlson, Julie Roginsky and Diana Falzone said they created Lift Our Voices because nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, harm women by forcing them into silence and perpetuating a cycle of predatory behavior. Carlson and Roginsky spoke to Newsweek ahead of the weekend’s release of Bombshell, the Jay Roach-directed film about sexual harassment accusations against former Fox CEO Roger Ailes. The movie recounts the experiences of several women, including Carlson and Roginsky, in exposing Ailes’ role in creating a toxic work environment at the network....
