Mary Oliver reading Wild Geese. As Reason’s editor defends its racist history, here’s a copy of its holocaust denial “special issue” By Mark Ames On July 24, 2014 “The German concentration camps weren’t health centers, but they appear to have been far smaller and much less lethal than the Russian ones.”
—Reason magazine, January 1976 Last weekend, I wrote about how Reason magazine — and their backers, the Koch brothers — was supporting a major push to further sell Silicon Valley on the “virtues” of libertarianism. After I exposed Reason’s history as a publisher of racist, pro-apartheid South Africa articles during the 1970s, the current editor-in-chief, Matt Welch, answered back in what must stand as one of the most bizarre responses imaginable. Rather than simply doing what any sensible editor would do — apologize for the magazine’s past transgressions but reiterate that the racists articles do not represent its current editorial position — Welch instead wrote a long blog post, smearing Pando and my reporting, including describing me (apparently without irony) as an “anti-libertarian conspiracy theorist.”
Austin App. Half Male, Half Female, Total Animal - Issue 13: Symmetry. As they often do after a rainstorm, butterflies had gathered around puddles on Pigeon Mountain in northwest Georgia.
Nets in hand, James Adams and his friend Irving Finkelstein watched the insects lapping up salts and proteins dissolved in the muddy water, their folded wings yawning apart now and then. There were silvery-blue Celastrinas and Skippers the color of cinnamon and ash. Largest of all were the Tiger Swallowtails—pastel lemon males with black dagger-like stripes and midnight-dark females with a dusting of evening cerulean. Suddenly a very odd creature flitted past Adams and Finkelstein—a swallowtail unlike any they had ever seen.

The Great War Revisited by George Weigel. In 1936, the British writer Rebecca West stood on the balcony of Sarajevo’s town hall and said to her husband, “I shall never be able to understand how it happened.”
It was World War I: the civilizational cataclysm that began, according to conventional chronology, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated in the Bosnian capital on June 28, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, a twenty-year-old Bosnian Serb. World War I was known for decades as the “Great War.”
Manyland. Everything is Leaf - April 23, 2014. John Chamberlain (journalist) John Rensselaer Chamberlain (October 28, 1903 – April 9, 1995) was an American journalist, business and economic historian, syndicated columnist and literary critic.
He was dubbed "one of America’s most trusted book reviewers" by the classical liberal and slightly libertarian magazine The Freeman.[1] Born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1903, John Chamberlain graduated of Yale University in 1925, where he was chairman of campus humor magazine The Yale Record.[2] He began his career in journalism at the New York Times in 1926, and he later served there as both an editor and book reviewer, writing the daily book review for the New York Times for several years during the 1930s.
Where are the limes, and What is to be Done? A Mathematical Proof That The Universe Could Have Formed Spontaneously From Nothing — The Physics arXiv Blog. One of the great theories of modern cosmology is that the universe began in a Big Bang.
This is not just an idea but a scientific theory backed up by numerous lines of evidence. For a start, there is the cosmic microwave background, which is a kind of echo of the big bang; then there is the ongoing expansion of the cosmos, which when imagined backwards, hints at a Big Bang-type origin; and the abundance of the primordial elements, such as helium-4, helium-3, deuterium and so on, can all be calculated using the theory. But that still leaves a huge puzzle. What caused the Big Bang itself? For many years, cosmologists have relied on the idea that the universe formed spontaneously, that the Big Bang was the result of quantum fluctuations in which the Universe came into existence from nothing.

America’s First Popular Men’s Magazine: The National Police Gazette. Several years ago I was wandering the stacks at the University of Tulsa library when I happened to chance upon an old, pink book with the words “Police Gazette” gilded on the spine in fancy script. I don’t know why, but I took it off the shelf and started to thumb through it. Inside I found page after page of 19th-century newspaper re-prints that featured big, bold, and inflammatory headlines along with cool illustrations of bare-knuckle pugilists, old-time strongmen, and lots of women in bloomers slugging each other senseless.
Little did I know that the musty book in my hands was a collection of facsimiles of America’s first hugely popular men’s magazine: The National Police Gazette. Is Glenn Greenwald the Future of News? Dear Bill, I have just a couple of last, quick points. My “contempt” for David Brooks is grounded in his years of extreme war cheerleading and veneration of an elite political class that has produced little beyond abject failure and corruption. I don’t see anything moderate about him at all. I was just simply pointing out that if you want to pride yourself on hiring conservatives to write for your paper, he is hardly representative of that movement.
