• Thoughtful Essays. Most of these essays present novel, practical solutions to  vexing chronic problems. Topics include polygraph evidence, education reform, science education, tobacco regulation, corporate downsizing, employee stock ownership, and fragmentation of the environmentalist movement. Others, such as "Jewish Social Conscience", simply share insights into why things are as they are.

• Satire, Humor and Wit. Convention buries many subjects in euphemism. I step right up and call a spade an entrenching tool. "Toxic Wells, NJ" seems to be the most popular piece.
