How The New York Times and the American public managed to ignore the Holocaust
An Aeon Video editor's pick. While many Americans assume that the Holocaust was a well-kept secret until the concentration camps were liberated, anyone with a New York Times subscription could have read about the atrocities during the Second World War. Regrettably, though, the persecution and murder of Jews was frequently buried by the ‘paper of record’. Of more than 23,000 front-page articles between 1939 and 1945, just 26 were about the Holocaust. This powerful documentary from the US director Emily Harrold recounts how and why the genocide of Jews was neglected and euphemised by the Times, and by extension, the American people.

European Ruling against Apple and Ireland Vindicates Brexit
Taxation is bad enough: two consenting parties arrange a mutually-beneficial exchange, and an interloping third party demands a cut. What compounded injustice then for a fourth party to enter the scene: a super-state/super-bandit who insists that the shakedown wasn’t big enough. No, the victim must hand over more to the lesser thief, even against the recipient’s will and in spite of his protest! That is what happened today when the European Commission slapped Apple Inc. with a $14.5 billion bill for back taxes, ruling that Ireland had violated European Union rules by taxing the tech company at too low a rate.

Clinton Economist Favors Force over Freedom
When it comes to innovation, including benefits innovation, the federal government is often a laggard, due to the nature of bureaucracy, political checks and balances and the one-size-fits-all feature of most legislation. Given the ample evidence of private institutions leading public institutions in adapting to social change, there is reason to be reluctant to give government a much larger role in managing American family lifestyles.
