Richard Grenell...serving as interim President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and he's taking that seriously, too.

• So when Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) made some unfounded and, candidly, false claims about the Kennedy Center under Grenell's management, Mr. Grenell was quick to issue a sharp rebuke, fact-checking Senator Whitehouse into the next time zone.
