On a Saturday evening in Washington, a man named Nasire Best approached the outer ring of the most guarded address in America and opened fire — meeting the full weight of that protection in return. The incident, brief but unmistakable to those who heard it, ended with Best dead, a bystander wounded, and a president unharmed inside. It is a reminder that the distance between ordinary city street and the seat of executive power is measured not only in yards, but in the accumulated anxieties of an era in which that boundary is being tested with unsettling frequency.
