The Woodrow Wilson Center held a debate on immigration earlier this summer, the first portion of which you can view here. I recommend it to you.
Steve Sailer pointed out that many of the agents selling subprime mortgages on overpriced houses to the vulnerable immigrant community were Hispanic themselves--see Spanish Language Radio Stations Hit Hard By Drying Up Of Zero Down Mortgages.
My favorite part of David Wallechinsky's quadrennially indispensable The Complete Book of the Olympics are the discontinued sports and events, such as Motor Boating (1908 London games), Tug of War (1900-1920), Croquet (1900 Paris) and Jeu de Paume (or real tennis, which was won in Paris in 1900 by robber barron Jay Gould's son Jay Jr.).
The unmasking of Bruce E. Ivins as a mad scientist who, with a high degree of likelihood, carried out the 2001 anthrax attacks, most likely singlehandedly, has not proven popular. People want to hear that Bush did it, Saddam Hussein did it, the cigarette-smoking man did it, whatever. Personally, I think the idea that a mad scientist at the government's bioweapons lab did it is pretty interesting, but apparently that's not good enough. Everybody wants a conspiracy that goes all the way to the Top!
Hal Dardick is no rookie in Chicago print journalism circles, which makes even more inexcusable his lopsided coverage of a hearing called by a "visibly moved" Ald. Danny Solis (25th) to address allegations that Chicago cops were (gasp!) violating city and county sanctuary ordinances by turning illegals over to the feds.
Here's some Census news focusing on the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area presented by the San Jose Mercury News, a major booster of diversity as the highest good in modern secular society. The biggest change is fewer traditional Americans (white people and black people) all the time. The chart showing comparative change over several years doesn't include African-Americans at all, not even as "other."

In April, I wrote a column "Manufactured Noose Mania" about the sudden rise of nooses as the latest hate symbol. As an example of how new this was, I noted how country singer Toby Keith's 2003 hit with country icon Willie Nelson, "Beer for My Horses" that contained the lyrics
Grandpappy told my pappy back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
