An opinion piece compares MLB owners and players to socialist and laissez faire models, arguing a strike could harm fans and the sport.

The piece critiques psychiatry's legal role and notes contrasting views from Patterson and defense psychologists. Sullum notes the broader point that paranoia-centered traits appear across many, not just this defendant.
