Dave Foreman
The Endangered Species Act is a lightning rod for political attack and the symbolic centerpiece of efforts to dismantle U.S. environmental law.

Genocide, Law and Money
Christopher Simpson
In genocides, “The impact of law and money is much greater than people realize,” argues Simpson. He discusses the genocides of the Armenians and the Jews.

Whither Pakistan?
Pervez Hoodbhoy
Reports of Pakistan’s impending collapse are frequent. It helps to know a little history. After Benazir Bhutto’s assassination in 2007 there was a wave of tributes. A lot was left out.
