Writers Under Surveillance
By Muckrock
"The FBI files on Hannah Arendt, Allen Ginsberg, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin and a dozen famous writers have a lot of stories to tell, and over the past eight years the MuckRock team has been digging through them.
"Today, we're excited to tell those stories in a new format: a 400-page volume that brings the most funny, frightening, poignant, and provocative tales about the intersection of surveillance and freedom to life, as told through those primary source documents."

Arne Duncan, Unreliable Narrator
By Aaron Pallas/The Hechinger Report
He's not a politician, he admits, but he has strong opinions about public policy, bolstered mainly by vignettes and anecdotes. A good story goes a long way, and issues often rise or fall on the policy agenda as much on the basis of stories as on hard evidence. This is the essential contradiction of Arne Duncan: He claims to be driven by data, but he prefers a good story.Posted on August 13, 2018
