  3. Elie Wiesel, history's witness

    It was a fine April day last week that found Elie Wiesel at Chapman University; it was a fine April day too, 58 years earlier, when the gaunt, teenage Wiesel found himself alive and suddenly free to walk out of the Buchenwald concentration camp. In the decades since, Wiesel's impassioned writing and speaking have won him a Nobel Peace Prize, and a large place in the public intellectual discourse about the Holocaust and the human condition. They have also brought him to Chapman each spring for the last three years as a distinguished presidential fellow, meeting with students and faculty to keep the significance of the Holocaust green in their minds.

  6. The end of macro magic

    WASHINGTON -- The International Monetary Fund recently held a conference that should concern most people despite its arcane subject -- "Rethinking Macro Policy II." Macroeconomics is the study of the entire economy, as opposed to the examination of individual markets ("microeconomics"). The question is how much "macro" policies can produce and protect prosperity. Before the 2008-09 financial crisis, there was great confidence that they could. Now, with 38 million unemployed in Europe and the United States -- and recoveries that are feeble or nonexistent -- macroeconomics is in disarray and disrepute.

  9. Stop dissing the humanities

    If any line item in the state or federal budgets cries out for more resources, or even just a little more respect, it's the arts and humanities. Never mind that many writers, artists and scholars have the fresh ideas that our times so desperately need. When politicians and columnists call for increased spending on STEM projects — that's science, technology, engineering and mathematics — don't they know they're alienating at least half the country?

  10. Author Sarah Dessen, "Bonsai People" and Bill Burr at SoBe Comedy Festival

    <strong>Bill Burr:</strong> The storm of meteor rocks that pelted Russia back in February inspired, oh, let's call it a "strange" comedy bit from the comedian. "It's really disappointing that that meteor didn't kill anybody," Burr announced to audiences at a recent comedy festival. Burr's a shocking guy when he wants to be, and his comedy's laced with the kind of existential farce that puts him in good company with the headlining yucksters at the South Beach Comedy Festival, bowing Wednesday at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Burr shares a bill with Sarah Silverman, Seth Meyers, Tracy Morgan and others. 8 p.m. Wednesday. $35.50-$45.50. 305-673-7300 or <a href="http://southbeachcomedyfestival.com/" target="_blank">SouthBeachComedyFestival.com</a>. <strong><em>&mdash; Phillip Valys</em></strong>
