- The feds want to seize private land for a Flight 93 memorial.

- State pension scandal, meet Lincoln Bedroom scandal.

- The Supreme Court's "other diversity problem": a uniformity of class and career paths.

- Is there a correlation between torture and terrorism?

- Gawker vs. David Simon.

- Christopher Caldwell reviews what sounds like a very interesting new book on Ronald Reagan's foreign policy. (Caldwell briefly mentions another Reagan book as well. It does not sound as interesting.)

- Mother's Day is coming this Sunday. Read about the men who voted against the holiday.
