It's not just RacismReuel S. Amdur
June 23, 2020
The reaction to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has led to the opening of a serious discussion about police treatment of people of color. It has also raised the wider issue of prejudice and discrimination in society. Putting these matters on the agenda is extremely important but focus on color in police interactions is too narrow.

There was the Roman Emperor Tiberius, who during the first century A.D. enjoyed throwing victims off a cliff on the Mediterranean island of Capri.

October 3, 2018
As a boy growing up in Egypt, I would rather have faced a ferocious lion than a snake. I thought I'd have a fighting chance of survival with the lion and, if unlucky in the encounter, perhaps a quicker demise. With the snake, however, I believed my survival odds would be zero, and I would suffer a slow and painful death.
