Mr Unz, the magazine’s publisher, disagrees with sometime American Conservative columnist Steve Sailer. Mr Sailer has argued that as whites become a numerical minority in [...]

The Atlantic Monthly, May 2009
Recently attempts have been made to launch spacecraft that would sail on the force of photons emanating from the sun. “Solar sailing” may be a technology that will make it possible to achieve very high speeds, perhaps more than half the speed of light.

La Crisi, by Fabio KoRyu Calabro
This week brings an especially good selection of youtube embeds on Ukulele Hunt. I’ve had them on in the background as I’ve been working. This one is especially well-suited to that purpose; a rousing tune, an intense performance, and lyrics that don’t distract me because they’re in Italian.

In the 22 October issue, Daniel Lazare reviews Mearsheimer and Walt, concluding that their methodology is incoherent, their assumptions about US foreign policy naively optimistic, and their work as a whole a specimen of “a new form [...]

See the post below for an explanation of what I’m doing. The cover story is a love letter to Keith Olbermann by Marvin Kitman; several pieces deal with the likely impact of the Iraq war on the 2008 elections. Alexander Cockburn’s column starts with the arresting sentence “I never thought there’d come a time when, [...]
