I've got news for you. The NY Post does not publish op eds that are carefully researched, have good citations, mountains of facts, excellent writing and storytelling to illustrate its arguments. They publish right wing spin, which is what Sowell has been involved in most of his career. Sorry if you can't grasp it.

Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
