Walter Kirn | GQ | 9 April 2012
Mitt Romney does not feel your pain. There again, neither does Barack
Obama. But who says voters want familiarity and empathy anyway? It
wasn't on offer from FDR or JFK. Truth is, Americans want to salute
their leaders, not hug them [6]Comments

Robert Zubrin | New Atlantis | 11 April 2012
Remarkable essay on disturbing history and politics of the "population
control movement", from US to China. Pseudoscience of Malthus led to
billions of ruined lives globally. The lesson? Side with human
ingenuity, not antihumanism [8]Comments

George Soros | Project Syndicate | 11 April 2012

enthusiasm for indefinitely expanding the money supply. A change in

Dave Lee | BBC | 11 April 2012
What does the future hold for Mozilla, the company behind web browser
Firefox? It's racked up half a billion users, but its only revenue

adapt, and diversify? [12]Comments

Hussein Ibish | Now Lebanon | 11 April 2012
Islamists rising to the top in the Arab world speak of freedom,
equality, democratic values. At the same time, they insist Islam is the
basis for these freedoms. Does this allow for genuine religious
freedom? Evidence suggests not [16]Comments
