Claudine Gay's Defenders Shoot the Messenger

CLAUDINE GAY RESIGNED as president of Harvard University in January, following numerous allegations that she plagiarized passages in her published works. But in some corners of the media, the fact that she committed plagiarism mattered much less than the fact that it was conservative writers who caught her.

Big Brother in the Driver's Seat

IF YOU'VE SEARCHED online about buying a car, you know you're in for a wave of aggressive come-ons and sales pitches. But I found a way to make car sellers clam up: All you have to do is start asking questions about the increasingly intrusive \"nanny\" nature of automobiles.

Creating Our Own Simulations

FOR RENÉ DESCARTES, minds were essentially thinking (or feeling) things. For the founding fathers of behaviorism, minds were identical with behaviors-talking, habits, dispositions to act in one way or another.

The Revolting Mr. Taxpayer

THOUGH ANIMUS TOWARD tax increases was a key reason for the American Revolution, historians have not shown much interest in the topic in other contexts. One reason may be that the history of tax revolts, much like the history of mutual aid or of nonunion workers during strikes, cannot easily be subsumed under the most popular analytical categories, such as economic class. So Linda Upham-Bornstein's \"Mr. Taxpayer versus Mr. Tax Spender\": Taxpayers' Associations, Pocketbook Politics, and the Law During the Great Depression is a welcome sign.
