Friday digest
New today from the Century:
- John Buchanan on CEO pay: "Over 20 years, the CEO pay multiple went up 1,000 percent. Former bank
CEO William J. McDonough calls this 'grotesquely immoral.'" (subscription required) - Marily McEntyre reviews Julie Anderson Love: "After her bleak diagnosis, Julie Anderson Love learned that hope has nothing to do
with passivity. She was, she writes, 'the patient from
hell.'" (subscription required) - Willliam Willimon summarizes the gospel in seven words: "God refuses to be God without us."
- David Heim on George Will: "Will's earlier brand of conservatism was a lively
conversation partner for liberals who are inclined to lapse into an
individualism of their own and to turn issues of substantive good into
questions of mere procedural justice." - Steve Thorngate on the White House biblical-literacy flap: " It's annoying to see
the president's fascinating invocation of God on the stump overshadowed by
another story about biblical illiteracy in high places."
