  • When You Ride ALONE You Ride with Bin Laden What the Government SHOULD Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism
    When you ride ALONE you ride with bin Laden What the Government SHOULD Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism BY BILL MAHER NEW MILLENNIUM PRESS Beverly Hills Dedication I dedicate this book to my partner in crime, Sheila Griffiths, and to my friends Michael Viner, Kim Dao and Billy Martin, who also contributed mightily to achieving my completely unreasonable demand to get the book idea I thought of in June out in November. Also, I am forever in the debt of the talented artists who brought to life the images you see in these posters. As my agent never stopped telling me, “a picture is worth a thousand dollars.” Acknowledgements There are a few people I’d like to acknowledge for making this book possible, and they are. George Washington; Abraham Lincoln; James Madison; Alexander Hamilton; John Adams; Benjamin Franklin; Thomas Jefferson; General Ulysses S. Grant and General Dwight D. Eisenhower. And everyone who worked so hard on this project of establishing a free nation and keeping it free. Without their hard work, dedication, brilliance of mind— and most of all, courage—a book like this simply wouldn’t be possible. Table of Contents Introduction . Make Them Fight All of Us ....

  • Scott Harrison JONATHAN GOTTSCHALL:​Why Do Stories Pull
    Masters of Scale Episode Transcript: Scott Harrison JONATHAN GOTTSCHALL: Why do stories pull us in? I think of story as sort of an ​ ancient virtual reality simulation, not unlike a flight simulator. REID HOFFMAN: That’s Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal, which digs ​ ​ ​ deep into humanity’s abiding passion for stories. This show’s producers are obsessed with his book. GOTTSCHALL: So a pilot goes into a flight simulator, he gets this imaginative simulation ​ of what it's like to face different problems while he's flying a plane and he gets better at flying the plane, but without taking any risk. And story may have served the same function for humanity, as a way to go into rich, imaginative, emotional simulations and train up on all the big problems that humans might confront in their lives, but without any danger. At the end of the story, the hero dies in your place. HOFFMAN: In his extensive investigations, Jonathan has immersed himself in stories from ​ across different ages and cultures. There are three basic elements that all stories share. GOTTSCHALL: So what’s a story? A story always has a character. ​ HOFFMAN: A character not unlike Scott Harrison, the founder of Charity: Water, who started his ​ career working in the bars and clubs of New York City. SCOTT HARRISON: So a typical night out for me: dinner at 10:00, the club at midnight, ​ after hours at 4, and then stumbling home somewhere around 11 a.m. GOTTSCHALL: The character always has some sort of problem, predicament, some ​ sort of trouble in their lives.

POST CONSTITUTIONALISM Lawrence Lessig* CONSTITUTIONAL DOMAINS: DEMOCRACY, COMMUNITY, MANAGEMENT. By Robert C. Post. Cambridge: Harvard Univer­ sity Press. 1995. Pp. ix, 463. $45. INTRODUCTION There's one First Amendment, not a collection of first amend­ ments. This one First Amendment has just fourteen words touching free speech and freedom of the press, not a code of provisions, each applying differently in separate spheres of social life. These four­ teen words about speech and the press speak to us directly - with apparent simplicity, limiting the sovereign's powers in ways plainly established. Yet out of this one amendment, out of these fourteen words, out of this simplicity, constitutional law has generated an enormous complexity. No single principle explains its contours; no simple set of ideas describes its reach. There is none of the tidiness of the constitutional text - none of its directness. We live in an age when this complexity has a certain cost.
