Celebrating Barry Bonds
Friday October 19, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- Forget terrorism and war today. I just want to say how pleased I am that Barry Bonds broke the Major League home run record. Not because the record was broken or because I wanted to see Mark McGwire eclipsed, but because it was Barry Bonds. He managed it without bending to th ...
Rewarding failure in government
Friday October 05, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- If you step back a bit from the complex and still-evolving aftermath of the atrocities of Sept. 11, you can see a pattern that was established firmly in American governance during the previous century, especially since the New Deal. In a phrase, in government nothing succeeds ...
Embracing common sense
Friday September 21, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- It looks as if we're going to be at this terrorism thing for a while. It behooves people of good will who oppose terrorism – and also value American liberties – to offer some ideas, and eventually a reasonably comprehensive and coherent strategy. Of course, "war" ...
Dealing with the preliminaries
Friday September 14, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- Well, it looks as if we're going to have a war of some sort. We don't yet know who the enemy really is, we don't know where the enemy is, we don't know how to neutralize or defeat the enemy, but we're going to war. It is probably inevitable and, in light of the horrific terrorist d ...
Resurrecting the imperial presidency?
Friday September 07, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- Why am I not surprised that President Dubya would invoke the tired and usually evasive concept of executive privilege for the first time in order to frustrate a Republican congressman seeking information related to alleged Democratic fundraising abuses? The powers of the presidency ...
Is Asa Hutchinson qualified to run DEA?
Friday August 31, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- All right, it hardly qualifies as big news that a Bush administration appointee would be an embodiment of the conventional political wisdom, perhaps slightly to the right of the Beltway consensus, but unlikely to think outside the box. In the case of Asa Hutchinson, who struck me a ...
Coming to terms (or not) with Waco
Friday August 24, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- I took a trip to New York City this week to participate in several programs that will be aired later on the PBS "DebateDebate" program. It gave me a chance to visit fairly extensively with Mike McNulty, producer of the series of documentary films on Waco, for the first time in s ...
Subverting faith-based charity?
Friday August 17, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- The White House has issued a report that does a fair amount to document what many observers have noted: that federal officials in charge of government grant programs often go too far – well beyond what is actually required by law or desired by Congress – in restr ...
Bubba forever?
Friday August 10, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- So Bill Clinton will score a $10- to possibly $12-million advance for his book from Alfred A. Knopf? Who says crime doesn't pay? The key is to do your crimes with panache, style, exuberance and chutzpah, and then to commit the further social crime of not only not apologizing, ...
Internet keeps undermining hierarchies
Friday August 03, 2001By Alan W. Bock -- Despite the dot-com meltdown, people continue to use the Internet, and the Internet is likely to continue its gradual (and sometimes rather sudden) process of undermining hierarchical structures in society. A recent survey done for the Pew Internet and American Life Project showe ...
