How young boys build imaginary worlds together
I remember, aged five or so, a friend and I were the cool police motorcyclists from the TV show CHiPs. Our props were limited to the usual paraphernalia of a suburban home and yet somehow both of us knew when the other person was on foot or on his Kawasaki motorbike, which routes through the house were motorways, where the baddies were located, and most important, we both understood the plot of our game.For a new study, a team of psychologists in Australia has taken an interest in the conversation that allows this kind of coordinated imaginary game-play between childhood friends. Frances Hoyte and her colleagues video...

Some experiences of life at Imperial College London. An external inquiry is needed after the death of Stefan Grimm
Conclusions The policies adopted by Imperial College have harmed Imperial’s reputation throughout the world. Worse still, they have tainted the reputation of all UK universities. They have contributed to the corruption of science. and they have, in all probability, killed a successful man, I hope that Alice Gast (president), James Stirling (provost). Dermot Kelleher (Dean, now vice president), and Martin Wilkins (who was left to weild the knife) have a good Christmas. If I were in their shoes, I’d feel so guilty that I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. They should spend Christmas reading Peter Lawrence&...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 23: The Great Rapprochement
George SelginWhat finally brought the Great Depression to an end? We ' ve seen that, whatever it was, it took place not during the 30s but sometime between then and the end of World War II, when a remarkable postwar revival occurred instead of the renewed depression many feared. We ' ve also seen that, while postwar fiscal and monetary policies weren ' t austere to the point of preventing that revival, they alone can ' t explain it, because they can ' t explain the reawakening of private business investment from its decade-and-a-half-long slumber.Animal SpiritsTo get to the bottom of that reawakening, we must first recall ...

Where do you get your ideas from? Part 3
Alan and I do like a do. We like the planning and the dressing up and the meeting old friends and talking to new people. And I always bring the placecards home. And they always make me think: Who wrote these? Did they also buy the cards? Did someone make the decision to handwrite rather than print the names and, if so, why? Was writing these cards a delight, or a chore? Was the person who wrote them coming to the event too? Did s/he know the people whose names s/he was writing? Did the person practice their handwriting before they began? Or were they chosen to do the job because of their handwriting? If they were, how did...

The Time Is Now For A Consumer Health Movement
Throughout history, social movements have galvanized wide-scale improvements in population health and quality of life. HIV/AIDS activists banded together to strengthen social services for patients, educate the public about the disease, and compel research and treatment investments that have relegated the condition to a chronic, manageable disease. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (now called simply Susan G. Komen) brought the issue of breast cancer out of the shadows, raising billions of dollars and saving lives by making whole families aware of the importance of prevention and early detection. Thanks to Mothers...

"In the film "The Lady in the Van," written by the playwright Alan Bennett, Maggie Smith has reprised the role of a cantankerous homeless woman she played onstage years ago. Both Maggie and Alan are 81, and both have achieved the status of National Treasures in Britain. ("Oh for heaven's sake," said the actress, who flapped her hands in horror at the suggestion made by @nytimes reporter Roslyn Sulcas.) The character Maggie plays took up residence in a van in Alan's driveway. For 15 years. "It was a change from all those hats and clothes in 'Downton,'" Maggie said dryly. "You can't be in the least bit vain." Maggie has been...

Fear of a Gold Planet
Proposed nominees Stephen Moore and Herman Cain having dropped out of contention, discussion continues over the Trump administration ’s possible next nomination to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. The views of the latest candidate under consideration by the administration, Judy Shelton, have revived a question that commentators raised earlier about Moore and Cain: Should favoring some kind of gold standard disqualify a nominee from occupying one of seven seats on the Board? Here let me disclose that I worked with Judy Shelton on the Atlas Economic Research Foundation’s Sound Money Project. But the argument t...

Eppie
I ' ve considered writing about Jeffrey Epstein for a long time, but I kept expecting more information about the sordid case to be forthcoming from the Southern District of New York. So far however we have seen no additional indictments or any investigative report. This surprises many people because there are strong indications that there is ample basis for additional indictments, despite Epstein ' s death. I ' ll get to that.I don ' t have any information to add to what is publicly known, obviously, but many people don ' t fully understand the story and the mysteries connected with it, so I figured I ' d provide a summary...
