Welcome to your second Saturday Daily.
Mark Sappenfield, our former editor turned Europe-roaming big thinker, delivers our lean-back read today. Everyday Finns are effectively shoring up an 800-mile border that鈥檚 long been a focus but that is of special concern today, given the apparent appetite of the Russian bear next door. It鈥檚 about much more than paramilitary prep work. It鈥檚 a transformative and deeply felt approach to security, with roots in agency and trust.听
We鈥檝e also got you covered with summer mystery reads and an essayist鈥檚 adventure with聽backyard birds.
