Is the death penalty, by its very nature, "arbitrary and capricious" as the governor of Illinois and the Reverend Jesse Jackson have suddenly erupted into insisting? No. And they should be made to prove that it is. People cannot and should not be executed unless there...
I respectfully differ with my fellow New York Times-watchdog Andrew Sullivan, who says today "Good for the Times for correcting the record." He's giving them Good Journalism brownie points for a story reporting that former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay may well have had...

President's Day is the politically correct (and union-approved) way to celebrate the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, America's two defining presidents in the pre-20th century era. But while both men deserve much of the accolades they receive, they...
