A week ago, I posted an article on the Independent Institute. It dealt with the organization’s policy of sending out a letter promoting its summer seminars. The letter had a deadline: the day it sent out the letter. It sent out the letter on the evening of the deadline. I pointed out that it is […]

Stevenson College is part of the University of California, Santa Cruz. UC Santa Cruz has the reputation of being the most far-Left tax-supported university in the United States.

“Mayday” — when repeated three times — is a distress call. The Independent Institute surely is in distress — marketing distress. The Independent Institute is a free market research organization.

The liberal Atlantic Monthly asks this question. It does not come up with the right answer. The winners may write history, but it’s up to others to teach it.
