Looming gallows: They await at the end of every socialist vista

SOCIALISM: June 13, 2019 The cover story in the May 25, 2019 issue of “WORLD” showed the dangers of socialism — but “New York Times” columnist Paul Krugman pooh-poohs the notion that American socialism could lead to “Soviet-style central planning, or Venezuela-style nationalization of industry; ... there is essentially nobody...
Necessary trips: Endangering careers to oppose Darwin
Marvin Olasky 03/05/2019 - 3:00pm
DARWINISM: March 5, 2019 “Washington Post” columnist and former Bush administration speechwriter Michael Gerson says 20th-century evangelicals “made a crucial error in picking evolution as a main point of contention with modernity.” Gerson quotes William Jennings Bryan from a century ago: “The contest between...

I then started going evenings to a school for studying the Talmud, which is made up of ancient rabbinical debates. One edition runs 73 volumes. HERE...
Wit and wisdom: Laughter may be the best antidote to vicious politics
Marvin Olasky 11/14/2018 - 9:36am
HUMOR: November 13, 2018 Early in this decade I produced a column of jokes for a WORLD issue each April at income tax filing time. I fell out of practice, but one reader last month said he would need some humor when contemplating election results — and that week, providentially, I picked up a new book, “Wit’s End”...
Ballpark lessons: Baseball history as a guide to welfare
Marvin Olasky 11/05/2018 - 10:59am
WELFARE: November 2, 2018 Bookstores now display literary efforts with titles like “A History of the World in 6 Glasses” — and I’m up to a challenge. Here, in honor of the splendid 2018 major league season, is a history of helping the poor in America in terms of three ballparks. American aid to the poor a century ago...
