    Dr. Henry Miller, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Gregory Conko, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in their Forbes article "Rachel Carson's Deadly Fantasies" (9/5/2012), wrote that her 1962 book, "Silent Spring," led to a world ban on DDT use. The DDT ban was...

  • Walter Williams: College professors can teach you to hate America

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, May 14, 2013

    Brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who are accused of setting the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon, attended the University of Massachusetts. Maybe they hated our nation before college, but if you want lessons on hating America, college attendance might be a good start. Let's...

  • Walter Williams: Liberal leaders have not offered an honest examination of race

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, May 7, 2013

    One definition given for insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results; it might also be a definition of stupidity. Let's look at some cities where large percentages of black Americans live under poor conditions. Experiencing a violent crime rate of 2,137...

  • Walter Williams: Confused liberals need reality check

    Walter Williams

    Published: Wed, May 1, 2013

    The liberal world vision and reality are often at variance, for example, with equal pay for equal work. I've often watched "Lockup," a show that features California supermax prisons, including Pelican Bay and Corcoran. Often, a recalcitrant prisoner must be extracted from his cell through brute...

  • Paying the price of government comes at a high cost

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, Apr 16, 2013

    Suppose you buy a gallon of gas for $3. How much did it cost you? You say, "Williams, that's a silly question. It cost $3." That's where you're mistaken, because there's a difference between price and cost. To prove that price and cost are not the same, consider the following. Suppose you live...

    Professor Craig Frisby is on the faculty of University of Missouri's Department of Educational, School and Counseling Psychology. His most recent book is "Meeting the Psychoeducational Needs of Minority Students." It's a 662-page textbook covering a range of topics from multiculturalism and home...

  • Humans are equal before the law

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, Mar 26, 2013

    Are women equal to men? Are Jews equal to gentiles? Are blacks equal to Italians, Irish, Polish and other white people? The answer is probably a big fat no, and the pretense or assumption that we are equal -- or should be equal -- is foolhardy and creates mischief. Let's look at it. Male...

  • Walter Williams: Race hustlers of any color hurt the country

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, Mar 19, 2013

    After reading Dr. Thomas Sowell's latest book, "Intellectuals and Race," one cannot emerge with much respect for the reasoning powers of intellectuals, particularly academics, on matters of race. There's so much faulty logic and downright dishonesty. Many intellectuals attribute the behavior...

  • Walter Williams: Education programs are bad for education

    Walter Williams

    Published: Tue, Mar 12, 2013

    American education is in a sorry state of affairs, and there's enough blame for all participants to have their fair share. They include students who are hostile and alien to the education process, uninterested parents, teachers and administrators who either are incompetent or have been beaten...
