This picture of Boris Johnson and Iranian president Rouhani breaking into laughter during a conversation in New York is highly unusual. It breaks the tension existing when Iranian response to American sanctions comes up. Mr. Macron of France and Johnson of Britain were trying to bring Mr. Trump and Mr. Rouhani together for talks. Mr. Macron looks serious, Mr. Johnson casual considering the issues involved. The picture of Jacob Rees Moog with legs outstretched in parliament and taking a nap with the chaos around him on Brexit, looking totally unaffected and nonchalant is similar. Mr. Moog is the head of the Johnson government's group in Britain's parliament.
