Editor R. R. Reno is joined by Hadley Arkes to talk about his article from the March print edition, “On Overturning Roe.” They discuss the shortcomings of originalist jurisprudence, the necessity of natural law in the fight to safeguard the rights of the unborn, and the opportunity facing the Supreme Court in the impending Dobbs decision.
After backing Russia’s grievances against NATO, China now finds itself treading a very fine line on Ukraine. There are often reasons to be suspicious of a country’s covid-death tally; we examine research showing how fraud can be spotted mathematically. And why women are less likely than men to be corrupt.

First, western governments weaponized finance against Putin’s Russia. Now corporations are canceling it. Foot Locker stock plummeted 35% because Nike is the MJ on their Chicago Bulls (no Jordan, no championships). And Target just revealed a new phenomenon: Americans feel sad about the economy, but are spending like they’re happy (call it the #TargetTwist).

How reliable are the figures coming out of the conflict in Ukraine?
Following Russia?s invasion of Ukraine, we consider claims about the numbers of troops involved, people killed, and planes downed.
Also: are the prime minister?s parliamentary claims about growing numbers of NHS staff backed up by data? We investigate the perplexing claim that the Chagos Islands are 100 metres below sea level. How long do you have to drive an electric car to offset the pollution from making the battery? And do we really make 35,000 decisions a day?
Most of us give little thought to the back of the book--it's just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in Index, a History of The: A Bookish Adventure from Medieval Manuscripts to the Digital Age(W.W. Norton & Company, 2022), hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past.
Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Duncan uncovers how it has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office, and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists' living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and--of course--indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart--and we have been for eight hundred years.
