I'm pleased to announce the Korean translation of my book Do Babies Matter. I'm also curious why my middle initial can't be translated into Korean. https://t.co/6s98MSDv6q

@Crouchback9 @IonaItalia @BIG_chikin The source is instructive. It was a throwaway line in Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will (1975), a book that led to many improvements in society's treatment of rape. Brownmiller included it on a whim after one of her professors suggested it.

One quibble. Cathy suggests Stalin wasn't a True Believer, but that's now the impression I got from Stephen Kotkin's epic bio (over 2,000 pages in two separate volumes that only cover up to 1941). If he wasn't a true believer, why so inefficiently collectivize agriculture?

Yet there is evidence that some cultural factors affect marriage rates, even if some of these are products of economic differences. Kathy Edin & Maria Kefalas' magisterial book Promises I Can Keep offers a welter of qualitative evidence. /3

Biographer William Taubman's insight into Mikhail Gorbachev stays with me: how did the USSR system allow a man dedicated to its destruction to come to power, given that the entire system was designed to exclude such men? 1/2
