Steven Greenhut, the author of
Plunder: How Public Employee Unions are Raiding Treasuries,
Controlling Our Lives, and Bankrupting the Nation (Forum), was
a columnist for The Orange County Register for 11 years.
“A lot of the book is set in California,” he says, “because we seem
to be in a lot sillier shape than other states.” In an article
drawn from the book, “Class War” (page 18), he writes about pension
fraud, preferment scams, and other follies in his home state and
around the nation. Greenhut is now the director of the Pacific
Research Institute’s nonprofit investigative journalism project in
Sacramento.
Greg Lukianoff is the president
of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). In
“P.C. Never Died” (page 26), he refutes the notion that political
correctness went out with the grunge era by documenting the
thriving world of student censorship. “If one thing genuinely
frightens me, it’s students leaping to the defense of speech codes
that limit their own speech,” he says. “And they don’t seem to
understand what’s wrong with it.” Lukianoff is a graduate of
Stanford Law School, where he studied constitutional law, including
“six credits of independent study on censorship in the Tudor
dynasty.” He blogs at The Huffington Post.
Since May 2008, Sylvia Ohlrich has been digging up the photographs that fill this magazine’s pages. The New Haven–based researcher has been in the photo industry since the mid-1980s, working primarily for educational publishers such as The Weekly Reader and Houghton Mifflin. Finding images can be like “solving a mystery,” Ohlrich says. When she searched for a picture to adorn a short review of the documentary Presumed Guilty (page 56), the usual sources weren’t yielding anything useful. She ended up speaking on the phone with the movie’s director, who she found to be “a very nice person who was very thrilled that we were going to be featuring his film.”

My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight.
