Jason Riley: False Black Power?
I recently had the chance to talk to Jason Riley about his new book, “False Black Power?”. Jason is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, and a commentator for Fox News.
In “False Black Power?”, he takes an honest look at why increased black political power has not paid off in the ways that civil rights leadership has promised. The key to black economic advancement today, he argues, is overcoming cultural handicaps, not attaining more political power.

Life Lessons From The Twilight Zone
This was a blast. Virtually anyone who knows me knows how much I love “The Twilight Zone”. I’m the guy who watches the twice-yearly marathons on SyFy, even if I’ve seen the episode 15 times. So, talking to a guy who literally wrote a book on the topic? Yes, please.
Mark Dawidziak is the author of the new book, “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone“. In essence, taking life lessons from episodes of the series. I’m actually thinking about trying to teach a seminar course on “The Twilight Zone” & American society in the late 1950s/early 1960s, so this was great prep.
