Beauchamp Buddies

American University Law Professor Kenneth Anderson has a toughtful essay about the Scott Thomas Beauchamp affair, as well as Peggy Noonan's recent Wall Street Journal column about that subject and how it reflects the lives of contemporary journalists. I thought of both earlier today after reading an exchange between Tim Worstall and Ezra Klein on Tim's blog. Noonan and Anderson said just about everything I wanted to say, although I may add something later.
