By Evan Derkacz

…he 80s with more positive connotations (though the annual death and injury toll may take a bite out of the PR, if not the bottom line). J.R. Smith has his demons…and he’s certainly made his share of mistakes — from suspensions for weed, elbowing other players, and untying the shoelaces of opponents, to petulantly refusing to shoot, taking bad shots, and mucking up team chemistry.

The Collapse of the American Jewish Center

By Sarah Posner

…ce process. While #IfNotNow’s actions and protests thus far have been tiny—numbering in the hundreds—they are reflective of a burgeoning discontent with institutional Jewish reaction to the current Gaza conflict. That institutional reaction, these dissenters charge, not only unquestioningly supports the official Israeli narrative that Hamas left Israel no choice but to attack—and no choice but to target locations packed with civilians—but fails to…

…ou (hint: promise candy), and act as if they’re all yours. Remember: large numbers of Muslims walking through bucolic scenery is especially reassuring to Hungarians. Incidentally, if you try to order a TSA uniform and your name is, say, Muhammad, the least of your problems will not be flying again. Actually, many of these ideas could end badly. For you. So think twice. Stop, drop and Tootsie Roll.™ Hooded young men with candy, after all, push arme…

By Haroon Moghul

…e were killed and 874 injured, the country’s health ministry said, but the toll looked certain to rise as unrest spread from Cairo to other parts of the country. –NBC News, August 14, 10:46 AM EDT It’s hard to get a handle on what’s happening in Egypt, but my sense is that all of this is deeply political in nature and intent. This is more than just a massacre, it’s a strategic massacre. By cracking down so violently and indiscriminately on the Mus…

By the spring of 2011, after a rigged but nonetheless significant election, the junta stepped down and a period of liberalization blossomed after fifty years of direct oppression.

Even my fellow parishioners are hurt and angry that I can’t be involved in the parish anymore.” In a follow-up to coverage of Dolan’s appearance, Sister Mary Ann Walsh, the communications director for t…

(NB: this “pro-life” position bears more of a relationship to a book on numerology than the Book of Numbers.)

The Many, Not the Few: An Anthem for Occupy

By Elizabeth Drescher

…I knew the power in the words that I had written. And, in a world that was free of punishment for being yourself… I would have sung it at the top of my lungs. But I also didn’t want to do it out of disrespect. I did it because there was really no other option at that point. I had to do it. I had to forget about what could happen to me. I was guided by something bigger… I don’t know what it is… I can’t put a name to it… The whole thing was providen…
