Juries in recent court cases have awarded billions of dollars in damages to cancer victims who were exposed to glyphosate.

In reply to Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr
I have one comment on today's presentations. As a preface, I do not believe that the House managers have met their burden of proof to establish the President's guilt. (Though I am interested in hearing what John Bolton has to say.) I believe, though, that both Professor Dershowitz and Judge Starr made a significant error in their legal arguments to the Senate. Both men claimed today that the "weight of authority" supports their view that no abuse of power by the President (without a violation of law) can be an impeachable offense.

The Story of a Civilization
The story of a civilization is not a novel—it’s an anthology of short stories, many of which are unconnected with each other. A vast array of manmade, natural, and chance related events and factors play a role in the rise and fall of a civilization. No philosopher or historian can faithfully capture the cause and the consequence of these events and factors. To have a modicum of understanding of a civilization, you have to examine not only its books of history and philosophy but also the symbols that enable its people to identify with their civilization: their politics, religion, rit... more »
