...this is the first time they can recall a judge's family being killed and not the judge. It is, in some ways, worse. "If someone was angry at me, they should go after me," Lefkow told the Chicago Sun-Times two days after the murders. "I'm just furious." Judges get threatened more often than the public might imagine, but the murder of Lefkow's family has rattled courthouses around the nation. This is not supposed to happen in America. "It's news that makes your whole body hurt," says Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, a colleague of Lefkow's. "What...

After reading Catastrophe, I spent several sleepless nights worrying about the 600 innocent souls who—in our hypothetical world of risk-benefit analysis—will be swallowed alive by an out-of-control strangelet sometime in the next decade. I was so furious that I started rounding up fellow socially-minded Harvardians to head to RHIC’s Upton, N.Y. home and protest this travesty. In a fearful fury, I decided to check with Harvard’s crack team of experimental high energy physicists to see whether Posner’s calculations are on-target...
