David M. Rubenstein: American Philanthropy as Reputation Laundromat

The ascension of Carlyle Group founder David M. Rubenstein to the National Gallery’s board of trustees–the Washington Post now identifies him simply as “Philanthropist David M. Rubenstein”, though at ARTnews he’s just a “macher”–marks perhaps the final wash cycle in the laundering of his old reputation as a defense industry leveraged buyout greenmailer. Everybody loves […]

Cold War II

The full panoply of the old Cold War institutional industrial complex is on display in today’s New York Times thought-bubble story about a “proposal” to store American infantry materiel in Eastern Europe. The ghost of Drew “The General” Middleton, the paper’s reliable kazoo for all things military for five decades, must be smiling with satisfaction […]

422 PowerBars: The American Response to Fukushima

“Polygraph Team” to the Rescue?

Sy Hersh and Bob Woodward, America’s last two celebrity newspaper reporters, have made a long and good living off anonymous sources. In the house of mirrors that is spy stories, they have somehow avoided bashing their brains out against the glass, although any sophisticated reader has every right to be skeptical about their navigation. Hersh’s […]

A New Gloss on “Missing in Action”

The long reach of the far right into the current U.S. Congress is evident in a recent directive from the House Armed Services Committee telling the Secretary of Defense to identify “inefficiencies” in the declassification process. The committee is not interested in casting daylight upon the billions of censored pages that might help hold the […]

Atomic Labs Forever

The Energy Department’s National Laboratories, which have stoked the American nuclear arsenal since Manhattan Project days, get some free advertising today from William Broad (who should know better) and David Sanger in The New York Times. At a moment when their budgets, which account for about a third of the $30 billion DOE total, are […]

Nuclear Roulette

The Japanese government ministry that supports the country’s nuclear power industry is revising its estimate of the risk of a major disaster from once-in-40-years to once in 80. If and when reactors that have been idle since March 2011 go back on line, they will be operating under stricter safety standards–hence the new educated guess […]
