Monday assorted links
1. Maybe cash transfers don’t boost cognitive skills by so much. Hope you enjoyed this year’s presents anyway.
2. Straussian Beatles, Christmastime edition.
3. WSJ piece on the Harvard Corporation. “One faculty member, citing a carve-out in the Massachusetts Constitution that reserves authority over Harvard to the state legislature, has urged Massachusetts lawmakers to install a government official on the board to provide more transparency and public accountability.” Brutal throughout.
4. The 2010 Census confidentiality protections failed.
