...kidneys available for transplant—but most Americans probably value their kidneys at more than $6,000. Even more effective would be a system that allowed persons who consent to donate their organs upon death to bequeath their compensation. Currently only 35 percent of licensed drivers and ID card holders register to be organ donors. One would expect many more Americans to register if it meant that this would swell the inheritance they leave behind by several thousand dollars...

...Palme d'Or winners for Rosetta in 1999 and L'Enfant in 2005, the Belgian brothers are back with another underclass minimalist melodrama, this time set in the polyglot city of Liege.

...that this law protects against the imminent threat of voter fraud—are misguided. This law, which is one of the nation’s toughest, does not allow voters to use utility or phone bills or employee identification at the polls. The necessity of government-issued photo ID means that citizens are required to spend money on an ID which might be useless to them in all other contexts.
