Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. What Unites Most Grad\u00adu\u00adates of Selec\u00adtive Col\u00adleges? An Intact Fam\u00adi\u00adly<\/a> (Nicholas Zill & Brad Wilcox, Insti\u00adtute for Fam\u00adi\u00adly Stud\u00adies): \u201c\u2026 even after con\u00adtrol\u00adling for par\u00adent edu\u00adca\u00adtion, fam\u00adi\u00adly income, and stu\u00addent race and eth\u00adnic\u00adi\u00adty, being raised by one\u2019s mar\u00adried birth par\u00adents pro\u00advides an addi\u00adtion\u00adal boost to one\u2019s chances of get\u00adting through Prince\u00adton.\u201d<\/li>
  2. What Chris\u00adtians Must Remem\u00adber about Nuclear Weapons and Arms Con\u00adtrol<\/a> (Peter Feaver & William Inbo\u00adden & Michael Singh, Prov\u00adi\u00addence): \u201cBefore embrac\u00ading calls for the abo\u00adli\u00adtion of nuclear weapons, thought\u00adful Chris\u00adtians must con\u00adfront two uncom\u00adfort\u00adable facts. First, we live in a fall\u00aden world in which the threats we face are chang\u00ading, and arguably grow\u00ading. Sec\u00adond, the enve\u00adlope of peace and secu\u00adri\u00adty in which free soci\u00adeties have thrived for the past eight decades is not self-sustaining\u2014one need only view the recent decline of democ\u00adra\u00adcies and rise of author\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan threats from Rus\u00adsia and Chi\u00adna. One can detest nuclear weapons and still see their strate\u00adgic val\u00adue.\u201d The authors are, respec\u00adtive\u00adly, a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence at Duke, a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of pub\u00adlic pol\u00adi\u00adcy at UT Austin, and a senior fel\u00adlow at a think\u00adtank.<\/li>
  3. Peer Review<\/a> (Rod\u00adney Brooks, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cI came to real\u00adize that the editor\u2019s job was real, and it required me to deeply under\u00adstand the top\u00adic of the paper, and the bias\u00ades of the review\u00aders, and not to treat the ref\u00ader\u00adees as hav\u00ading the right to deter\u00admine the fate of the paper them\u00adselves. As an edi\u00adtor I had to add judge\u00adment to the process at many steps along the way, and to strive for the process to improve the papers, but also to let in ideas that were new.\u201d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor emer\u00adi\u00adtus of robot\u00adics at MIT.<\/li>
  4. JK Rowl\u00ading Writes about Her Rea\u00adsons for Speak\u00ading out on Sex and Gen\u00adder Issues<\/a> (JK Rowl\u00ading, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201c\u2026I refuse to bow down to a move\u00adment that I believe is doing demon\u00adstra\u00adble harm in seek\u00ading to erode \u2018woman\u2019 as a polit\u00adi\u00adcal and bio\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal class and offer\u00ading cov\u00ader to preda\u00adtors like few before it.\u201d<\/li>
  5. More on the NY Times tan\u00adgle last week and what it reveals about our soci\u00adety\n
