What we read while shooting J.R…
- A fascinating look at the history and evolution of the Grateful Dead’s recorded archives.
- Israel and Hamas reached a fragile cease-fire last week, after hundreds were killed. Of course, the conflict promises to continue for the foreseeable future, as the situation in Gaza remains untenable. The hopelessness of many Palestinians seems palpable. America’s role in the conflict, with its support of Israel, remains in question, while Egypt’s role expands.
- Some thoughts on the Rolling Jubilee.
- A DEA agent reflects on the drug war.
- Who should run the SEC?
- With the CIA looking for a new director, questions persist about President Obama’s drone wars. The Administration is evidently developing a “rule book,” but its terms are, of course, flexible. Should it matter that al Qaeda’s core has been “decimated”?
- Reflections on Anna Karenina.
- Is the Big Ten’s expansion a fool’s errand?
- An urbanist explains why Washington D.C. should keep its height restrictions.
- A way to fix air travel.
