The Man Who Brought Theoretical Physics to Wall Street

By: Kevin Dugan， NY Magazine
There are a vanishingly small number of people whose existence changed Wall Street. One of them was Jim Simons, a former academic mathematician who brought trading closer to the world of theoretical physics - and then exploded the possibilities of how people could make, and lose, money. If he wasn't history's greatest trader, he was among a handful who could ever make that claim. On Friday, the Simons Foundation announced that he had died at the age of 86 in New York City.

What's Happening in Texas Is an Assault on Our Democracy

By: Peniel Joseph， CNN
For nearly a decade, I have been honored to be a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin. As a scholar whose research and teaching hinge on histories of racism and activism, this April was an exceptionally harsh one for me - and for all of Longhorn Nation. A month that began with the gutting of resources devoted to our students has ended with shocking scenes of crackdowns by law enforcement in our midst. I have been left heartbroken. This spring, our motto, "What Starts Here Changes the World," has taken on a bitterly ironic meaning.

Avoiding Victimhood: A Lesson From Our Jewish Peers

By: Lexi Boccuzzi，＆nbsp；RCP
More than six months have passed since the deadly attacks of Oct. 7, 2023. Yet it seems like every day I wake up to new reports of antisemitic conduct, particularly among America's most elite young adults, Ivy League students. The latest has been a series of violent protests at Columbia and Yale where Jewish students were harassed and even attacked. At Penn, I have been reporting on the ground while protesters chanted "Israelis are pigs," and "Al-Qassam make us proud, take another soldier down." Our famous Ben Franklin statue was even vandalized with the KKK slur "Zios get fuckt." How did the...

Biden's Worst-Case Scenario Is Unfolding

By: J.T. Young， The Hill
Last Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advance estimate for 2024's first-quarter real GDP growth. At 1.6 percent, it is the worst quarterly performance since the economy contracted by 0.6 percent almost two years ago in the second quarter of 2022. This was a growth level one-third below economists' expectations of 2.4 percent. It is also a precipitous drop from 2023's fourth quarter rate of 3.4 percent and 2023'third quarter rate of 4.9 percent.

The Lagash Lounge

By: John Hamilton， RealClearPolitics
In 2023, an Italo-American archaeological team announced their discovery of a 5,000-year-old tavern in Lagash, an ancient city-state capital in southern Iraq. A cuneiform tablet found among the ruins carried a recipe for beer, which the team believed to be the bar's most popular beverage, even exceeding water. Photos of the site showed piles of broken pottery "mugs" strewn about. The Lagash Lounge must have held a heck of a party the night it closed down.

Biden Up Against Nostalgia for Trump's First Term

By: Stephen Collinson， CNN
President Joe Biden is casting the 2024 election partly as a referendum on Donald Trump, but it's a harder card to play now that he's in office and some voters have warming memories of the former president's chaotic term.

Warrantless FISA Searches of U.S. Citizens Are Wrong

By: David Deavel， AMAC
"We have two parties, and only two," the legendary journalist and conservative political activist M. Stanton Evans liked to say: "One is the evil party, and the other is the stupid party. I'm very proud to be a member of the stupid party. Occasionally the two parties get together to do something that's both evil and stupid. That's called bipartisanship."
