Misreading History

Israel’s growing legion of critics never tire of warning the Jewish state not to make the same mistakes in answering Hamas’s savage attack that the United States made after 9/11—namely, the Bush administration’s post-9/11 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Those invasions, critics say, led the U.S. into a morass of “forever wars.” So, too, will Israel’s military effort in Gaza, they assert. As Israel contemplates whether to resume its mission of eradicating Hamas’s leadership in Gaza after hostage diplomacy ends, the Biden administration’s warnings not to make a similar mistake have grown more intense.

Reinvest in Carceral Facilities

Jails and prisons make critically important contributions to society. They not only protect communities from criminal conduct but also have the potential to improve the health and safety of inmates. These facilities, sometimes the first places where addicts or the mentally ill get treatment, can allow people to rebuild and refocus their lives. But intelligent federal reinvestment is necessary to realize these broader humanitarian capacities.

Not-So-Affordable Care

In a 2022 book, Seemed Like a Good Idea, health economist Mark Pauly and his University of Pennsylvania coauthors describe how health-care policymakers “often rely on hope or conjecture, not rigorous evidence of effectiveness” when proposing and implementing new programs. Even when those programs fail, as they usually do, the authors argue that policymakers often persist in supporting them. Look no further than the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare or the ACA.

Geniuses Behaving Badly - City Journal

Judging from the size and makeup of the crowds in Florence I saw during a visit in September, Americans are mad for Renaissance art. Try to get a close look at Giotto’s Ognissanti Madonna at the Uffizi, and you’ll see only the heads of college juniors holding their phones high to get a long-distance shot of just a slice of the fourteenth-century painting that gave the first hint of the genius about to bloom throughout this part of northern Italy. Go to the rear wall of the Basilica of San Lorenzo, about the oldest church in this very old city that became the favorite of the Medicis; there, tour guides—dozens hourly—meet up with travelers in shorts and ...

“I wanted to create something that was run by women for women—not something for men to ogle over,” said Thai entrepreneur Anne Jakrajutatip, whose JKN Global Group acquired the Miss Universe pageant in 2022. Under Jakrajutatip’s leadership, Miss Universe is now run by an all-female executive staff and has only female hosts and in-person judges—all, that is, except for Jakrajutatip, a male who claims to be transgendered.
