One, Thomas Sowell's "Re-Assessment of Affirmative Action" appearing in this winter's Public Interest, is a short essay challenging the reasons for having affirmative action at all.

He teases the police by sending them a notice of each murder, with a picture of one part of his body cut from a full-length photograph of himself. Minos has a glass eye and sees only half of what most people see, an idea with a potentially interesting connection to the sending of one scrap of his picture at a time or to the imposition of a strict moral standard on victims of only...
