A Season on the Brink of Disaster


In the first Clásico in a decade without Ronaldo or Messi, Real Madrid’s new manager faces a must-win situation

The
Long Struggle for
Supremacy
In the
Muslim
World
Turks and Saudis have been
enemies for centuries.
Now the Khashoggi investigation
has rekindled their fierce rivalry
—and may upend the politics
of the Middle East.
BY YAROSLAV TROFIMOV

TWO CENTURIES AGO, in the fall of


1818, the Saudi monarch was brought
to Istanbul in chains. He was dis-
played in a cage to the cheering
crowds outside the Hagia So-
phia mosque, and then, amid
celebratory fireworks, his
head was chopped off.
This gruesome epi-
sode in the shared his-
tory of Turkey and
Saudi Arabia hasn’t
been mentioned in
public as the two
countries have clashed
over the Oct. 2 killing of the Saudi journalist Ja-
mal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s consulate in Is-
tanbul. But the long legacy of rivalry between
the two Sunni Muslim powers—both of them key
American allies—has fueled Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s determination to punish
the House of Saud for Mr. Khashoggi’s death.
In the wake of Mr. Khashoggi’s killing, Mr.
Erdogan proclaimed that Turkey “is the only
country that can lead the Muslim world.”
This, of course, is also the role that the House
of Saud sees as its natural right because of
the kingdom’s control over Islam’s holiest
sites in Mecca and Medina, and over the hajj
pilgrimage that brings more than two million
Muslims there each year.
In this contest, Iran—whose Shiite version of
Islam represents a small minority of the predom-
inantly Sunni Muslim world—can’t really com-
pete. For now, Tehran is happy to watch from the
sidelines as its two main regional rivals under-
mine each other and leave Western powers with
few good options for how to react.
Saudi Arabia’s 33-year-old Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman has tried to assert Ri-
yadh’s ambition to lead the Middle East ever since
his father ascended to the throne in 2015. In a major departure from
Saudi Arabia’s previous policy of behind-the-scenes checkbook diplomacy, Prince Moham-
med has built a coalition of Sunni states such as the United Arab Emirates and Egypt to
launch a war against Iranian allies in Yemen. He imposed an embargo that unsuccessfully
sought regime change in Qatar. He also attempted to meddle in Lebanese politics by forc-
ing that nation’s prime minister to announce during a stay in the kingdom that he would
resign, a decision that the prime minister rescinded once he was home.
Saudi Arabia and its allies also have relentlessly pursued the

Mr. Erdogan has made several efforts to resist Saudi Arabia’s rise.
He sent Turkish troops to protect Qatar, ousted Saudi allies from So-
malia and announced a deal to lease an island across the Red Sea from Saudi Arabia in Sudan,
possibly for a military base. He has also become a vociferous champion of traditional Muslim
causes, such as Palestine, and of new ones, such as the suffering of the Rohingya in Myanmar.
Istanbul has turned into a favorite hub for Islamist dissidents from across the Arab world.
“The Turkish president’s foreign policy strategy aims to make Muslims proud again,” said

MIND AND MATTER

When It Comes
To Sleep, One
Size Fits All
I’D ALWAYS thought that
our need for sleep, like
our appetite for food,
drink or social contact,
was a personal matter:
Some people need more, some need
less. Age, lifestyle, work and metabo-
lism combine to determine how much
sleep a person needs to function, and
if some people thrive on five hours a
night and others require seven, chalk
it up to different strokes for different
folks, right?
Wrong. A new study of the sleep
habits of more than 10,000 people
around the world suggests that the
amount of sleep adults need is univer-
sal. The massive survey, published in

the journal Sleep, demonstrates that
adults everywhere need 7-8 hours a
night—no more and no less—in order
to be mentally limber. When we habit-
ually stint on those hours, higher-or-
der cognitive processing—such as the
ability to see complex patterns and
solve problems—is compromised.
The lead author of the study, Conor
Wild, a research associate at the Brain
and Mind Institute at the University of
Western Ontario, explained how a re-
search team directed by the neurosci-
entist Adrian Owen recruited thou-
sands of people for the online study.
“We did a lot of social media advertis-
ing and radio interviews. And the BBC
put together a two-minute spot on Dr.
Owen’s sleep research,” Dr. Wild said.
The Odd Couple:
Nixon and Moynihan
This blitz prompted more than
40,000 people from 150 countries to

weren’t religious, but as a teenager, she
joined an evangelical church for about a
year after hearing a sermon by the Rev-
erend Billy Graham in San Francisco.
She went on to Stanford University,
where she studied dance, history and
classics. After a stint studying dance at
Martha Graham’s studio, she earned a
Ph.D. in religion at Harvard University. It
was at Harvard that she first heard
about the ancient texts discovered near
a village in Egypt in 1945 that would be-
come the basis of “The Gnostic Gospels.”
The texts are believed to have been
written by early Christians, including
some of the apostles, but they are not
included in the New Testament. Her
book argued that the discovery expands
the understanding of Christian tradition.
She says that the Gnostic gospels sug-
gest that since everyone is created in the
image of God, Jesus is not unique. One of
the texts, referred to as The Gospel of
Thomas, for example, suggests that ev-
eryone has the potential to become a
“child of God.”
Her book became a best-seller and
won the National Book Award, but it also
attracted attacks from some traditional-
ists. “I worried about the reaction before
it happened, but after that, I realized
praise or blame didn’t matter that much,”
she says. “You just do what you do.”
In 1982, she joined the faculty of
Princeton. Five years later, her young
son Mark, who had been diagnosed with
pulmonary hypertension when he was 2,
died. A year later, her husband, the phys-
icist Heinz Pagels, died in a hiking acci-
dent in Colorado. While she’s always
been fascinated by religious tradition,
she hadn’t been a regular churchgoer,
and after their deaths, people kept tell-
ing her that she should rely on faith to
move forward. But their deaths made her
feel remote from faith. “I didn’t feel

N 1898, 12 YEARS after the
death of Emily Dickinson, an
intrepid woman named Mabel
Loomis Todd (1856-1932)
stashed a huge trove of Dickin-
son manuscripts, including 655 poems,
into a camphorwood chest. That chest
stayed locked for more than 30 years,
when Mabel Todd instructed her
daughter, Millicent (1880-1968), to open
it. How Mrs. Todd came to possess that
pile of Dickinson material is a story
rivaling any old-fashioned Victorian
bodice-ripper. And happily it’s the
subject of Julie Dobrow’s long overdue
study, “After Emily: Two Remarkable
Women and the Legacy of America’s
Greatest Poet.”
More than anything, Mabel Loomis
had wanted to be a “Somebody,” as
Emily Dickinson dubbed those who seek
the approval of an “admiring Bog.” She
liked to say she was descended from
Priscilla and John Alden, that as a child
she’d known Thoreau and that her
brilliance as an artist, musician and
writer would inevitably win her great
acclaim. As a young woman, she did
