The Debate Club
#1
Hi all,

Earlier this month an editor from US News and World Report wrote me, asking if I would contribute a 500 word op/ed on the question, "Was JFK's Assassination a Conspiracy?" It's for a feature they call the Debate Club. Never heard of it before, but ego being what it is I of course said, "Certainly."

I sent off my 500 words a few days later, then didn't hear a peep out of them for weeks. As of this morning, though, it's up.

I honestly didn't think they'd use what I sent, since the thrust of my essay is that it's a stupid question. Of course, I toned down the rhetoric a little.

I still remember the special Posner fanboy edition of US News back in the 1990s.

That was the special US News and Warren Report issue.

I forgot to mention: thank you to Charles Drago for reading and commenting on a draft of my little essay.
