Tonight’s topic: “If you were in charge of the war on terror, what would you do?” Sipping cheap Merlot from a clear plastic cup, McMillian awaits the arrival of his guests. Barely audible ’60s rock music pumps out of a pair of speakers on the mantelpiece, under which a few logs of wood sit patiently in the fireplace. But McMillian almost never uses...
