But Californians are at risk for a second type of slide, which the U.S. Geological Survey's David Howell refers to as a "bedrock landslide."

Evidence depends on Openness. Let them see where your heart is. Let us show them where it is, with pride in our judgements and in our ability to articulate them. This is the strategy for which the United States Supreme Court spoke when asked in 1994 to consider the issue of privilege and secrecy in university tenure processes, a strategy...
