R ead this book--Mommy said you could. - Penn Jillette, Penn and Teller, on Free-Range Kids, How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry) Library Journal Starred Review - Skenazy flies the black flag of America’s Worst Mom, a title this syndicated columnist and NPR commentator earned by allowing her nine-year-old son to ride the New York City public transit alone in 2008. Here, she puts parents? fears to bed by examining the statistical likelihood of the dangers we most fear (murder, baby-snatching, etc.). Drawing on facts, statistics, and humor, she convincingly argues that this is one of the safest periods for children in the history of the world, reiterating that mostly, the world is safe and mostly, people are good. Even the lowest-flying helicopter parents would have trouble disagreeing that we have entered an era that says you cannot trust yourself. Trust a product instead. Skenazy argues that it’s time to retire the national pastime of ...

A mong the letters - from Perry Anderson, as well as on George Kennan, Karl Popper, and the British empire, in the LRB for June 7, 2012: The Real Thing Bernard Porter’s account of the ambiguities of anthropology as it played in our ‘civilising mission’ in Africa brought to mind a story told by the American anthropologist Elizabeth Colson, who has studied the Tonga people of South Zambia for sixty years ( LRB , 10 May ). In the 1940s some earnest young Tongans told her they’d come to the conclusion that the Bible contained the knowledge that was the secret of European power over them. They didn’t trust the Bibles available from the local missions because they believed that the key passages had been cut out before the Bibles were distributed to Africans. They were hoping she had brought some unexpurgated copies with her. Derek Summerfield London SE5
The paper lion as paper tiger
Indigo/Getty Images Rebekah Brooks, then chief executive of Rupert Murdoch’s company News International, with Murdoch and his son James at the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival, March 18, 2010. Brooks resigned from News International in July 2011 after the Guardian reported that the News of the World had engaged in phone hacking in the early 2000s while she was its editor. In May 2012 she was charged with “conspiracy to pervert the course of justice” for concealing materials from police investigating phone hacking and bribery allegations. What Rupert Hath Wrought! Geoffrey Wheatcroft ... the great awe, or plain fear, Murdoch inspires ... has shaped our national life for a generation. In her testimony to Leveson, Brooks said that she was “elected” by her readers, which is cute but silly and offensive. No one elects tabloid editors. She also said at one point, with fascinating self-importance, that “we needed to get the Welfare Bill through,” as though the News International tabloids wer...
