Is the Lakers-Grizzlies Beef Real?
Is the Lakers-Grizzlies Beef Real?
The NBA’s newest (and maybe most heated?) rivalry has delivered plenty of theatrics this season, but it’s unclear whether there is actual animosity between these two teams. Through two first-round games, it appears the feud is still figuring itself out.

America Fails the Civilization Test
The true test of a civilization may be the answer to a basic question: Can it keep its children alive?
How’s the U.S. doing on the civilization test? When graded on a curve against its peer nations, it is failing. The U.S. mortality rate is much higher, at almost every age, than that of most of Europe, Japan, and Australia. That is, compared with the citizens of these nations, American infants are less likely to turn 5, American teenagers are less likely to turn 30, and American 30-somethings are less likely to survive to retirement.
America Fails the Civilization Test
The average American my age is roughly six times more likely to die in the coming year than his counterpart in Switzerland.
