Below is a list of the 20 reviews or opinion columns I have published most recently. Both print and internet pieces are included.
These are just convenience links to the items, which can also be got to by going to the "Opinion" or "Reviews" page and selecting the appropriate category.
There is some variability in how soon I will archive a piece (i.e. post it here, to my website) after it has appeared in print or pixels. Editors sometimes ask that I not make a piece available on my website until some stated period of time has elapsed. From simple courtesy, and occupational prudence, I comply with such requests, though I may put the title of the piece in my list below without any link. The stated period has never so far been longer than a month. Nobody has yet asked me not to archive pieces at all.
