Recall and Recollection
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 7.28.2003
Everyone except the indifferent seems to look forward to recalling Governor Gray Davis with relish come October 7. No one so richly deserves the boot. Davis ran for governor in 1998 with the slogan, “Experience money can’t buy,” which prompted our friend Chuck Bell in Sacramento to suggest the obvious recall slogan: “Incompetence you can’t afford.”

Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 7.10.2003
About ten years ago General Electric ran a splashy TV ad with the theme of the lights coming on within the previously dark and dank nations of Eastern Europe.

Submitted by Lawrence J. McQuillan, Ph.D on 7.1.2003
That our children represent the future is an axiom to which all politicians subscribe. A survey of public policies that affect children, however, shows these policies to be woefully lacking, excessively costly, counterproductive, and even harmful to those they purport to serve. In A Brighter Future: Solutions to Policy Issues Affecting America's Children, edited by Lawrence J. McQuillan, director of PRI's Center for Entrepreneurship, the authors explain why deep reforms are necessary if today's children are to reach their full potential as productive, independent, and responsible adults.The need for comprehensive reform touches vital policy areas that affect children, directly and indirectly.

Submitted by Lawrence J. McQuillan, Ph.D, Andrew M. Gloger on 7.1.2003
Lost in the chatter about California’s budget crisis, electricity crisis, water crisis, and now recall crisis, is the workers’ compensation crisis. Yet it threatens to do more damage to the state’s business climate than any other factor. And workers’ comp will soon get worse.
