3 weeks ago | thebaffler.com | Dennis Hogan |Andrew Schenker |Leif Weatherby |Abe Beame

This past winter, the forty-nine members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee faced a difficult task: they were asked to reconsider the case of Jim Tyrer. In the 1960s and early 1970s, Tyrer ranked high among the league’s dominant linemen. From his position as left tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, he protected Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson’s blind side for 180 games straight, a team record at the time.

El Canal de PanamÃ¡ tiene un gran problema, pero no es China ni Trump

Jan 3, 2025 | nytimes.com | Dennis Hogan

Pero Trump no comprende la verdadera amenaza para el comercio estadounidense a través de Panamá. Si el objetivo es garantizar un acceso asequible al punto de tránsito a largo plazo, es el cambio climático, y no la influencia china, lo que debería preocupar a los legisladores estadounidenses. He aquí por qué. Enviar un solo barco a través de las esclusas del canal puede consumir unos 50 millones de galones de agua, principalmente agua dulce recogida del lago Gatún.
The Panama Canal Has a Big Problem, but It's Not China or Trump

Jan 1, 2025 | nytimes.com | Dennis Hogan

Here's why. Sending a single ship through the canal's locks can use around 50 million gallons of water, mainly freshwater collected from Lake Gatún. Though the canal is, for the moment, operating at full capacity, a drier climate and greater demand for drinking water have in recent years reduced the volume of available water. That has forced the state-run Panama Canal Authority at times to limit the number of daily passages through the canal, at one point by as much as 40 percent.
The Great Divide

Nov 14, 2024 | publicbooks.org | Dennis Hogan

Between 1904 and 1914, the US completed the unprecedented project of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Panama Canal. Print celebrations of the achievement began to appear almost instantly, some even before the canal was finished. They have not stopped since. The typical Panama Canal book is a panegyric, and many writers have focused on the men who planned, executed, and helmed the project as paragons of power, vision, technical know-how, and ingenuity.

Aug 29, 2024 | thebaffler.com | Dennis Hogan |Zoe Hu

The Lenape had called Staten Island Aquehonga Manacknong, “the place of the bad woods,” but in 1609 Henry Hudson rechristened it in honor of the Dutch parliament, the Staaten-Generaal. Later, the British renamed it Richmond, for the duke of the same name, a bastard son of Charles II. For decades, Staten Island was officially if not popularly known as Richmond Borough, until, in 1975, the name changed again.

US Colleges and Universities Are Becoming Giant Exploitation Machines

Aug 20, 2023 | znetwork.org | Dennis Hogan |Daniel Denvir

There is a multifaceted crisis occurring in higher education in the United States right now. Graduate students trained to be professors cannot find jobs, and the vast majority of professors today are not even working tenure-track positions. Instead, academics everywhere struggle to piece together enough classes, which pay a few thousand bucks a piece, to survive. Undergraduates leave college buried under debt, which today’s labor and housing markets make extremely difficult to ever pay off.
