Part the First: War Begets War, A Conversation.  Daedalus hosted a conversation among Robert Jay Lifton (1926-2025), Neta C. Crawford, and  Matthew Evangelista last year.  It was preprinted recently in The MIT Press Reader.  I immediately noticed the participation of Robert Jay Lifton.  Back in my dark ages, when the university had a University Bookstore that sold books instead of branded apparel and other junk, that store introduced me to Lifton through Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima, after I had read Hiroshima by John Hersey in high school.  Both works are still important and will remain so for as…

In December 2023, the U.S. Justice Department sued a Texas land developer it accused of duping tens of thousands of Hispanic residents into predatory mortgages, a landmark case for the Biden administration.

The developer targeted Hispanic applicants through false advertising and persuaded them to take out high-interest loans that many could not afford, then benefited when it foreclosed on their properties, the lawsuit alleged. “Our…

Matt Murdock and company take a bit of a backseat in this week’s episode of Daredevil: Born Again to put a lot of emphasis on Pointdexter, aka Bullseye.

The episode starts off really strong, too. Using Frank Castle’s name to bait the AVTF to a diner, Bullseye quickly makes stylish work of Fisk’s goons, all while we get to listen to Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind.…
