* As explained two or three times before this, ALL OF IT is for items that don’t fit neatly into  categories such as UKRAINE, IRAN, GAZA, LEBANON, WEST BANK, ENERGY, and MEDIA. Its title loosely recalls Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story, the concluding segment of his daily and Saturdays ABC News Radio newscasts in which he would expand on a news item. Harvey lived from 1918 to 2009.
