Immigration and the 'Whatever' State
"To what does one assimilate in modern America?" That question was posed by Nathan Glazer and Daniel Patrick Moynihan in their 1963 book, Beyond the Melting Pot. It still is the most important but most neglected issue in the immigration policy debate.

What's Ringing the Robs' Bell: When Love Might Not Win (Part 2)
"Love wins" – but does it always? Are there situations when "love" might even cause people to "lose"? Will the Supreme Court become the grand arbiter of what love is even as it became the definer of what a human life is and when it begins?

Marco Rubio, Wolf Blitzer, Ben Carson, Lady Gaga and the Scripted Culture
Senator Rubio departed from the script. That's simply not done. Speaking of unscripted moments at lofty tables brings to mind Dr. Ben Carson's "uh-oh" speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington ten days before.
