There is an old admonition that says it’s usually viewed as both cruel and inefficient to cut a dog’s tail off one small piece at a time. For everybody’s sake, especially the dog's, it’s better to go ahead and cut the whole dang thing off in one fell swoop. However, in politics, which is not expected to be either efficient or kindly, cutting up things one piece at a time is frequently considered both strategic and pragmatic.

Atlantic Monthly

Most people are unaware of the full title of Charles Darwin’s book that launched a revolution in Western civilization. Most textbooks record the title merely as

. The "dirty little secret" is that the full title of the book is
The Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life

Elvis, Music, and Cultural Change

I read the other day that Elvis Presley would be 75 years old, if he were alive today. (I'm assuming that all the “Elvis sightings” have been wrong.) Now I must admit that I have never been a big fan of Elvis' music. Nevertheless, my brother lived in Memphis for a time and we visited Graceland while on vacation. (For sake of full disclosure, I've actually been there twice.) Visiting his home, in s...
