...these assumptions have drawn us into. The fact that the Democratic Party cannot even have an open discussion on the Second Amendment out of fear that they will be crippled by a cultural bludgeon is indicative of the extent to which we have all collectively bought into this cultural trap. Certainly many rural Americans have a wide variety of reasons for opposing gun restrictions. But to claim that there exists a single “rural America” that universally rejects such proposals and considers suggestions to the contrary as a cultural affront is not only wildly incorrect, it?...
...Bear's Mighty Fall I read with dismay Justin Fox's "The Bear Trap," about the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns [March 31].

...purveyor of stats and scores. As editor of an “underground” blog that boasts “sports news without access, favor, or discretion,” Leitch has obvious reasons for disliking larger media conglomerates. But by assaulting ESPN he risks falling into the trap of the very “preening sportscasters” he criticizes: when sports are your life, you take them too seriously.Ultimately, in trying to celebrate what got us sports fans hooked on the games we love in the first place, Leitch has missed one of the greatest things about...
