This story deserves to be better known. One of the foundations of Western liberty is the defense of private property against invaders. This principle goes back to the Mosaic law. If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; […]

Where to retire? Do you want safety? Do you want a pleasant environment? Do you want lots of free services? Do you want to be around younger people with a future rather than geezers with fading memories of the good old days? Retire close to a college. There, unreality reigns supreme.

Going back to the Egyptians in the ancient world, education has always been based on some version of the textbook. The textbook came into its own in the second half of the 15th century.

How do you set up an accredited university? You buy one. Then you convert it into a 100% online school. The secret to all this is the fact that small colleges are going out of business all the time. They have one asset worth retraining: regional accreditation. Everything else can be sold off. Let’s assume […]

Friday the 13th, 2017, was a lucky day for me. I completed a project that I first decided needed to be done in 1960. I was a sophomore at the University of California, Riverside.

I begin with Leonard “Lenny” Ross. Our paths crossed in June 1958. Ross won $100,000 in 1955 at the age of 10. He won another $64,000 in 1956. This was the era of the TV quiz shows. His specialty: the stock market. Note: $164,000 in 1956 would be $1.45 million today. In December 1957, he […]
