Economic issues-taxes, freedom to do business, unemployment
A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Medical-School Test Gets a Revamp". No kidding! The first paragraph reads (sorry, no link, as this is behind the WSJ paywall): "The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology …

I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin. There were riots in the streets, with college students tipping over cars and setting fires, to express their anger at their team's loss. …

It has been very disheartening this week, reading about all the good people whose lives and livelihoods have been under murderous assault, both in the USA and abroad.

However, none …

It started with an essay in the (supposedly) high-minded publication for Wall Street Journal subscribers, WSJ Magazine.
