Cuanto más sangrienta se volvía la guerra de Vietnam y más intensas eran las manifestaciones en su contra, más se recrudecía la represión por parte del Estado. Las cárceles se llenaron. Timothy Leary fue condenado a treinta años (!) de prisión por la posesión de una pequeña cantidad de cannabis que los agentes de control fronterizo habían encontrado en la ropa interior de su esposa. También hubo ingresos en centros penitenciarios de máxima seguridad por posesión de LSD.

W Nowym Jorku dzień 17 grudnia 1953 roku był dość zimny. O trzeciej po południu, gdy Sidney Gottlieb z 4 tys. dolarów w gotówce zbliżał się do budynku mieszkalnego w dzielnicy Greenwich Village na Manhattanie, temperatura wynosiła minus 4 stopnie. Nawet przy lodowatym zimnie było to miejsce tętniące życiem; uważano je za dzielnicę artystycznej bohemy. Tuż za rogiem pod koniec lat 30.

Chinoy, a professor of journalism at the University of Maryland, debuts with an incisive and entertaining look at the origins of computerized election forecasting. Rather than a product of the digital age, machine-generated election night projections date back to the early 1950s, Chinoy explains. He focuses in on the 1952 election cycle, when efforts to use machine technology to predict winners became a prominent feature of newly televised election returns.

A Good Bad Boy: Luke Perry and How a Generation Grew UpCultural critic Wappler (Neon Green) serves up a loving if unwieldy overview of the acting career of Perry (1966–2019), best known for playing Dylan McKay on the 1990s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210. Growing up in Mansfield, Ohio, Perry endured his father’s drunken rages until his mother got a divorce when Perry was six.

The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect UnionMassachusetts senator Charles Sumner’s lifelong devotion to equal rights was akin to “digging a deep well with nothing more than a spoon... yet he never stopped digging,” according to this rousing biography from historian Puleo (Voyage of Mercy). As a young lawyer in 1849, Sumner coined the phrase “equality before the law,” a concept that rapidly propelled universal suffrage to the forefront of abolitionism.

Cass R. Sunstein. Harvard Business Review, $30 (256p) ISBN 978-1-64782-536-2This probing analysis from Sunstein (Decisions About Decisions) explores serendipity’s role in determining why some thinkers, artists, and athletes hit the big time while others languish in obscurity. For instance, Sunstein recounts how after Muhammad Ali’s bicycle was stolen when he was 12, the future champion reported the theft to a police officer who happened to run a boxing gym and recommended Ali try out the sport.

Elias Aboujaoude. PublicAffairs, $30 (320p) ISBN 978-1-5417-0301-8Executive coaches, boot camps, and workshops promising to develop leadership skills are incorrigibly ineffective, according to this provocative takedown. Stanford psychiatry professor Aboujaoude (Virtually You) argues that the tendency to conflate holding a leadership position with success has pushed individuals to seek out the C-suite even when it’s not a good fit.
