Jeanne Marie Laskas | GQ | 21 August 2012 Buying guns in America. In Yuma, Arizona, there are family nights at the shooting range, ladies' nights, birthday parties. It's the liberals who are stupid and scary. And assault rifles make great gifts for six-year-olds Comments Lawrence Summers | Washington Post | 19 August 2012 "There's a widespread view in both parties that it is feasible and desirable that in the future the federal government should be no larger as a share of the overall economy than it has been historically." But that's wishful thinking Comments Jonathan Mirsky | NYRB | 20 August 2012 Guidebook for American soldiers sent to Vietnam in the 1960s was charming, naive, mendacious. Discussed culture, history. Explained how US was helping brave locals resist foreign-sponsored terrorism. Just as in Afghanistan Comments Simon Johnson | Bloomberg | 19 August 2012 Pick a popular target: Big banks. "True conservatives should all want the megabanks to break up, becoming small enough and simple enough so they can fail – without any kind of government or central-bank bailout" Comments David Daley | Salon | 19 August 2012 You can see why Salon pulled that quote for the headline, but there's a lot more to this interview than that. Takes a little while to warm up but the remarks on growing up, growing old, and the job of writers is splendid stuff Comments Eric Michael Johnson | Primate Diaries | 16 August 2012 "For decades the idea that cheaters may in fact prosper has been the greatest difficulty in understanding cooperation as an evolved trait." Here's how thinking about coordinated punishment could help. Interesting throughout Comments |
