The Triple Package
That certain groups do much better in America than others-as measured by income, occupational status, test scores, and so on-is difficult to talk about. In large part this is because the topic feels racially charged. The irony is that the facts actually debunk racial stereotypes. There are black and Hispanic subgroups in the United States far outperforming many white and Asian subgroups. Moreover, there's a demonstrable arc to group success-in im…
The Interpretation of Murder
A dazzling literary thriller - the story of Sigmund Freud assisting a Manhattan murder investigation. Think SHADOW OF THE WIND meets THE HISTORIAN. THE INTERPRETATION OF MURDER is an inventive tour de force inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by protege and rival Carl Jung. When a wealthy young debutante is discovered bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city, and another society beauty …
The two world orders
What is the source of America's growing unilateralism? The easy answer is self-interest: we act unilaterally to the extent that we see unilateralism as serving our interests. But the answer prompts a more searching question: Why do so many Americans view unilateralism this way, given the hostility it provokes, the costs it imposes, and the considerable risks it entails? Americans sometimes seem unilateralist almost by instinct, as if it were a ma…

A Reply to Posner
In The First Amendment's Purpose,' I criticized the cost-benefit approach to free of which Richard Posner has been leading advocate.2 On the cost-benefit view (or at least Posner's view of that view), speech can be prohibited when American society its harmful consequences are thought to outweigh its expressive value.3 Or, in another formulation: [S]peech be allowed if but only if its benefits equal or exceed its costs.4 In sense, stating these fo…
The First Amendment's Purpose
There is a problem in the basic structure of current free speech law. Consider two simple cases:\n(A) A is ticketed for speeding. He claims a First Amendment violation. He argues—and this is his only argument—that a higher speed limit would have been safer and more fuel efficient.\n(B) B is arrested for wearing a certain shirt. He claims a First Amendment violation. He argues—and the state concedes—that the legislature criminalized the wearing of…
Affirmative Action
"On the Legal Status of the Proposition That "Life Begins at Conception
For eighteen years, a majority of the Supreme Court has upheld abortion rights without deciding whether or when a fetus may be regarded as an independent person. Today, another set of Justices would deny those rights on the ground that the fetus's status is an issue for state legislators to resolve. These mirror-image strategies share a common aim: Each allows the Court to evade the single question that, in every discourse but the judicial one, i…
