• The President's criminal record

  The mainstream media is tip-toeing lightly around this issue, but it seems pretty likely to me that the President has a criminal record, probably involving illegal narcotics, dating back to the early 1970s. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

• More pieces of Feynman

  Back to Feynman. In my previous post, I talked about how the nanotech founding father's words get me through my morning commute. Feynman was big on making science understandable to everyday slobs like me. But I wonder how I would have handled this interview, relayed by Robert P. Crease in a March 2001 article in Physics Web, "Revenge of the Science Writer."
