New Republic Writer: Left Caved, Baltimore Paid Price
All week, liberals and conservatives have accused each other of causing the longstanding socioeconomic woes of Baltimore. TNR's Rebecca Leber had a subtler take in a Friday piece: she put part of the blame on liberals, but only because they went along with conservative ideas.

Bozell & Graham Column: The 'Upgrading' of Bruce Jenner
