...effective in reducing DUI convictions or incidents [after being imposed] for first-time DUI offenders.” (The study did show, however, that the risk of crashing was higher for offenders with a lock installed—perhaps because they were being asked to conduct breath tests while driving.) If the locks have no effect when imposed after a first DUI conviction—which presumably selects for the most likely drunk drivers—what is the chance that they will have an effect if foisted upon millions of people who simply want...
...Australians' conduct since 1995 hasn't always been edifying.

But when suicide bombers today go to their fates with the Koran's verses on their lips, it invites questions about Islam's credentials...
...goal is to provide the framework within which student groups can battle sexism and homophobia. We offer grants to this end, and programs and space to strengthen the women’s community. We centralize resources relating to women’s and gender issues, and conduct our own programming to engage students in dialogue on these issues. Samuel writes that “creating a ‘safe space’ for dialogue does not create dialogue.” Of course. But having a space and the resources to conduct a dialogue are necessary prerequisites. Rather than...
