Academics of all stripes should actively oppose the illegal order to reduce indirect cost reimbursements. This order violates both federal regulations and the Administrative Procedures Act. Implementation would hurt scholarship throughout all disciplines.

FWIW close to Bourbon Street, along the Mississippi, there's a weatherworn statue dedicated to immigrants. That's the thought: person of marble, white because, duh, they're marble. People have draped the statue's raised hand in dangling bright party beads. I took this photo a couple weeks ago.

My latest SFF book review column for the Washington Post covers three long-awaited books from some of the genre's best wordsmiths. These books feature heroes who are total screwups, amoral jerks, or both!
