• Top Notorious Obamedia Moments of '08

In May, CNN posted "breaking news video" of female journalists on Obama's press plane fawning over the Democratic presidential candidate as he talked on his cell phone. Wenner-a prominent Obama backer who ran countless hagiographies of him in sister publication Rolling Stone and featured the Obamas with the slavering headline "Why Barack Loves Her" on US Magazine's June cover-had his media flack e-mail the antiPalin hit piece to all media in St. Paul for the Republican National Convention: "Might be useful as an illustration of how the news is playing out," the flack wrote.

• Fashioning a Constitutional Voter-Identification Requirement

In recent years, some states have responded to concerns about voter fraud by enacting requirements that voters present identification before voting. Opponents have aggressively challenged the constitutionality of these requirements in court with varying degrees of success. This Note examines the results of these legal challenges and suggests the parameters in which a state legislature can fashion a constitutional voter-identification requirement.

• The Population Cycle Drives Human History - From a Eugenic Phase Into a Dysgenic Phase and Eventual Collapse

In the period before the onset of demographic transition from large to small families, when fertility rates were positively associated with income levels, Malthusian pressure gave an evolutionary advantage to individuals whose characteristics were positively correlated with child quality and hence higher IQ, increasing in such a way the frequency of underlying genes in the population. As the fraction of individuals of higher quality increased, technological progress intensified. Positive feedback between technological progress and the level of education reinforced the growth process, setting the stage for an industrial revolution that facilitated an endogenous take-off from the Malthusian trap. The population density rose and with it social and political friction, especially important a...
