Under closer scrutiny

A new issue of Camping magazine is out. Ishaan Tharoor on why Turkey’s election is a very big deal. Secular publisher Faisal Abedin Deepan hacked to death in Bangladesh, on same day as attacks on publisher Ahmed Rahim Tutul and two other writers (and more). A loss for the Left in Canada: Adam Rasmi on how the New Democratic Party lost steam. Many authors have been tempted into writing revisionist histories of Richard Nixon, but these counterintuitive takes often do not hold up under closer scrutiny. This land is our land: America’s visionaries left us a wilderness where egalitarianism thrives. Rand Paul wants to sell off America’s public lands. Jim Edwards goes inside the “conspiracy” that forced Dov Charney out of American Apparel. Sex, drugs, and V-neck tees: Alden Wicker goes inside the cult of American Apparel. The first chapter from Think Again: Contrarian Reflections on Life, Culture, Politics, Religion, Law, and Education by Stanley Fish.
