Let Peace Begin With Me by Ken Brodnax Wins Pulitzer Prize
The 1988 Pulitzer Prize winner Ken Brodnax presents an essay urging self control as the path to freedom. The piece frames freedom as a divine gift aligned with moral guides and the Declaration of Independence, asserting restraint over political power.
Racial profiling and bias in everyday judgments
The piece argues information costs shape judgments and asks if race or sex based inferences are racist or sexist. It cites Pima diabetes rates, prostate cancer risk in black men, and breast cancer in men, plus examples from taxi cabs and sporting contexts to explore when profiling may be reasonable or harmful. It invokes medical and social judgment questions without asserting simple answers.
