[Dale W Jamieson]

dear friends,

my research center just put out a report today in collaboration with some folks at harvard law school, that was covered in the new york times, that might be of interest to some on this list.

 i think the times article is open access but i've attached just in case.  

you can link to the full report from the times article, or find it here:

“When you see the world and you see the laws of brute necessity which govern it, you realize that the only way that you can reconcile this vale of suffering … to sanity is to glue your soul to prayer.”--Leonard Cohen
