Here to stay

Jonathan Barnett (USC): Copyright Without Creators. From Slate, J. Bryan Lowder on how camp is not dead — it’s alive, well, and here to stay. Breeding baby fiscal hawks: Pete Peterson's long game to reduce the national debt involves wooing college kids with cash prizes and a visit to Bill Clinton's conference. Leon Neyfakh on what we want from the Marathon bombing trial: Boston expects a lot from the Tsarnaev prosecution — if things go right, we won’t get it all. The first chapter from Looking for Rights in All the Wrong Places: Why State Constitutions Contain America's Positive Rights by Emily Zackin. Kevin Smokler gave himself a tough assignment when he set out to write Practical Classics: 50 Reasons to Reread 50 Books You Haven’t Touched Since High School, and not just because he had to compose the equivalent of fifty book reports in less than ten months.
