Everyone knows what happened 950 years ago this month, don't they? William the Conqueror killed Harold and became King of England. Not quite. Harold and the flower of his army died at Hastings on 14 October 1066. But the magnates of England then proclaimed Edgar the Aetheling as King.

The Courage to Embrace Radical Choices in the Face of the Climate and Food Crisis
One of the worst droughts in living memory continues to threaten East and Southern African countries, brought on by the recent El Niño event.

On WikiLeaks, Journalism, and Privacy: Reporting on the Podesta Archive Is an Easy Call
For years, Wikileaks has been publishing massive troves of documents online — usually taken without authorization from powerful institutions and then given to the group to publish — while news outlets report on their relevant content. When it comes to the question of whether and how the Podesta email archive should be reported, there are, in my view, five principles that ought to guide the decision-making process.

One Driver's Story Shows the Benefits of the Sharing Economy
For most of Anglo-American history, the right to earn a living was regarded as “the most precious liberty man possesses.". Yet today, in the US and Europe, occupational licensing places substantial burdens on people wanting to follow trades as diverse as hair-braiding and appliance repair.

Politics Is Poison to the Human Spirit
Been feeling depressed? Politics might be the reason.
