Chris Suellentrop: "Playing With Our Minds" now online

Recent Articles

New York Times Magazine
December 24, 2006. "The Right Has a Jailhouse Conversion": "The G.O.P., the party of Richard Nixon's 1968 law-and-order campaign and the Willie Horton commercial, is beginning to embrace the idea that prisoners have not only souls that need saving but also flesh that needs caring for in this world."
Wilson Quarterly
Summer 2006. "Playing With Our Minds": "The important thing to find out about video games isn't whether they are teachers. 'The question is,' as game designer Raph Koster writes in A Theory of Fun for Game Design, 'what do they teach?' "
Wired
December 2005. "To Boldly Go Where No Fan Has Gone Before": On Star Trek New Voyages, Captain Kirk "is a professional Elvis impersonator, with muttonchops and a hornlike pompadour, who lives in nearby Ticonderoga. Spock works at a Virginia videogame store. And McCoy is an Oregon urologist." Chekov? Still Walter Koenig, the actor from the original series.
Radar
Sept/Oct 2005. "Last Man Standing": "While some Democrats remain skeptical of candidate Hillary's chances in a general election, Republicans have grasped her biggest strength: The former first lady may be the only Democrat man enough to take back the White House."
Legal Affairs
Sept/Oct 2005. "On paper Paul Clement should be one of the capital's most divisive--if not reviled--lawyers. Instead, he looks to be one of the few members of the Bush administration who will leave office more respected by Democrats than when he started."
Wired
August 2005. Is EverQuest a game, like Monopoly, or a place, like Canada?
Slate
My old stomping grounds. My most recent contributions are a few "Gaming" columns, including this August 12, 2005, examination of Islamic video games.
Washington Post
Book reviews, including Edward Klein's The Truth About Hillary and Byron York's The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.
Boston Globe
Sunday "Ideas" section, June 26, 2005. "Rather than providing a blueprint for how to match the Republicans' financial muscle, was the 2004 election a special case, a windfall that Democrats should not expect to be repeated?"
New York magazine
April 18, 2005. "What’s emerged from Sy Hersh’s numerous speaking engagements—dozens of speeches last year, he says, which have drawn as much as $15,000 per university lecture—is a vast, tantalizing trove of what might be termed Hersh apocrypha: unpublished tales of official screwups, ideological intrigue, cover-ups, and government lies that have an influential—and growing—public life of their own."
