...explored from the perspective of the humanities. While such scientific research has its uses, reports like this subtly reinforce the idea that science is the best, if not the only, way of knowing. Even your cover picture implied that a question as mysterious as our capacity for good and evil could be answered with the reductionist idea that it's all in our brains. Luke Tia, Gainesville...
...foreign policy, and Edwards flubbed somewhere in between. Even more insidious, however, was the framing of the question the candidates were responding to: In it, the government of Venezuela was unthinkingly lumped together with a list of alleged pariah states, including the two survivors of the Axis of Evil.

"Who needs a President?" said Maz Jobrani, an Iranian-American...
...there is also a semi-serious element to the Axis of Evil tour. At each stop, the group has invited local talent to share the stage with them, as a way of promoting emerging Middle Eastern stand-up comedy. In Lebanon, guests included students from the American University of Beirut, and an insurance agent who's clearly dying to quit his day job. And, perhaps, by heaping scorn equally on the claims of all sects and creeds, they'll do their part for peace in the region. "Is there any religious group that doesn't believe it's superior...
