by Phillip W. DeVous

by Steven Menashi
Prompted by Mark Lilla's new book, "The Reckless Mind: Intellectuals in

auditors would need to compete for the trust of investors by providing real,
digestible, information, not by just meeting government requirements and no
more. Deregulation would also strip away the false and dangerous notion that
investors can trust government regulations and standards to make all companies
"safe" and "trustworthy." Investor skepticism is the first line of defense
against fraud in a free economy, but becomes dull in a regulated environment.
Stifling Black Students
By Walter Williams From the evidence that I see, civil-rights leaders,
white liberals and college administrators seem to be more concerned with black
student enrollment rates and the heck with whether they graduate. Black students
