This is where we respond to questions that we are frequently asked or
find to be of general interest.
We're most likely to answer questions of fact relating to current
political or policy issues. Please don't ask for our opinions: We try
hard to keep those off these pages. We have no answers for "what is the
meaning of the universe" questions, nor can we peer into the future to
see who's going to win an election. We welcome questions from students,
but they shouldn't expect us to do their homework assignments.
