National Affairs Magazine

National Affairs Magazine

National Affairs is a new quarterly journal that aspires to help Americans think a little more clearly about the challenges of governing ourselves. We will publish essays about public policy, society, culture, politics, and the world of ideas, with an eye to what a responsible and thoughtful American ought to know and to think about, and with a special concern for domestic policy and political economy, broadly understood.

This may seem a strange time to launch such a venture. It is, for one thing, a terrible time for magazine publishing, as the economics of the information age takes its toll. It might be thought a terrible time for a quarterly schedule and long-form essays, too, as internet opinion journalism has conditioned us to seek analysis in small but quick and frequent doses, like chickens pecking at their feed. A glance at the popular media would suggest it is also a terrible time for taking up large public questions — as the country’s interest seems to be directed elsewhere.

But calamity is ever the season of reflection, and a terrible time is often just the right time for new ventures. This one is especially called for now because the challenges of governing ourselves today are great and daunting, and are poorly understood. In the wake of a bewildering economic crisis, the foundations of America’s post-war economic order have suddenly come into question. We are struggling with the exploding costs and inefficiencies of health care and entitlements, and fiscal disaster looms as our society ages.

King Brothers

King Brothers

The King Brothers, Alex and Derek King, who are released this week. Alex and Derek King were found guilty nearly 10 years ago at age 12 and 13 (photo above) for the death of their father, Terry King. The influence of Rick Chavis on the boys at the time became part of speculation in the case. The case drew out questions like how a neighbor could drive two boys to take the life of their father. Was there an abuse of emotion towards their father by Chavis? And will we every know? Watch below the interview of Alex and Derek King with NBC.

king brothers were only 12 and 13 respectively, when on Nov, 2001 they killed their father in his Cantonment, Florida. They killed him with a baseball bat and then set the house afire to conceal evidence of the slaying. The whole nation was shocked and with further revelation, the sick story became even more so when it was revealed that the kids’ neighbor Rick Chavis had convinced them to commit the murder of their father so that he could continue a sexual relationship with the younger brother.

The two boys soon confessed that they had killed their father. Alex claimed that he had thought up the bizarre plan, and Derek said that he had been the one who had swung the bat. 　　Although the boys had been charged with first-degree murder, the jury was allowed by law to find them guilty of a lesser charge—which they did. and now, at the age of 18, after serving 6 years in the prison, Alex came out only recently as a free man. This ghastly news reminded us of the dreadful news once again.
