A decade later, we are all looking east, but not in envy, and not in awe. Shock, disbelief and mounting fear are more like it. Consider the images coming out of East Asia last week alone: On Tuesday Thai police bludgeoned demonstrating autoworkers, whose company had denied them an annual bonus.

On Thursday, the “Summertime Sadness” singer announced her seventh album in a lengthy statement shared on Instagram that also addressed criticisms of her lyrics.

Can a creationist be a good scientist? Can a good scientist be a creationist? To mainstream researchers, the answer has long been an emphatic “no”: no serious scientist can doubt that evolution fits the known facts of geology and biology better than any other model.

In fact, the more I found out about the project, the more sense it made. A century and a half ago, in the years before audience research, Hawthorne had composed his somber psychological drama with no way to know if readers might prefer a French and Indian War bodice-ripper instead.
