		<description><![CDATA[Some of the “radical” responses to this most recent shooting grate our more human sensibilities. “Guns” are touted as having become a “fetish object”; there are calls that we need to promote “justice,” not the control of guns—specific, state-delineated efforts to define and control the “gun problem” are said to be “liberal.” We don’t need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“We’ve never gone into surveillance for sake of surveillance unless there is criminal activity afoot,” McDaniel told The Daily. “Just to see what you’re doing in your backyard pool - we don’t&#160;care.” From an article on the increasing use of drones in the US, which paid special attention to the problem of putting weapons on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fernando Báez has a fixation with books. This comes through in the introduction to A Universal History of the Destruction of Books, his account of the ways books have been destroyed throughout the globe, when he relates an anecdote from his childhood about a flood that destroyed the library in his town, the “object of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, or the one before that, John Lanchester did a podcast on Marx for the London Review of Books. Presumably this is an effort to generate a bit of buzz for Lanchester’s new novel, Capital. From the title of the new novel alone, we can assume that there’s not a little that Lanchester owes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stumbled across an interested series of posts (first one here) on the history of English food written by Rachel Laudan. Laudan is writing in response to an old blogpost by Paul Krugman, written in 1998, that used English food&#8217;s putative crappiness to demonstrate the bad equilibrium thesis. Essentially, the thinking is that a free market [...]]]></description>

Thompson&#8217;s take on the law (a &#8220;humanist&#8221; one, which saw the rule of law as better than law&#8217;s absense) and Ian Taylor&#8217;s defense of law against a perceived alternative of social&#160;turmoil.

		<description><![CDATA[Midwinter spring is a strange season. The city is not so cold, but the air is still very dry. It parches the lining of my nostrils, causing me quaking headaches. At night, the radiator hisses wake me and I listen for the scanty distant sounds of tires on the roadtops. There are desperate thoughts in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The French gastronome Brillat-Savarin began “The Physiology of Taste” (1825) by declaring, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” You are also what you read — or, perhaps, what you&#160;own. So Leah Price writes in an article in the Times. You are what you own: ah yes, books&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;notice your [...]]]></description>

When we arrived, the museum seemed to be very crowded: a line of people had queued up, waiting to get in, and I thought, &#8220;Well, I bet it was even more crowded during the free day.&#8221; But we waited, patientlike, with tourists [...]]]></description>
