Are smart kids really more likely to use drugs?
Rebecca Goldin PhD, November 22, 2011
New research reporting that a high IQ is associated with an increased likelihood of drug use is making the rounds in the news. Unfortunately, the media have neglected to put the study in the context of other information, or even to answer important questions about how strong this connection between IQ and illegal drug use is.
The latest burden of being highly intelligent is an increased likelihood of drug use, "especially among women," according to a Medical News Today account of a new research published in Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research was part of an ongoing longitudinal study tracking 8,000 British children from their birth in 1970 to see what happens to them as the decades roll by.
As the Los Angeles Times noted, the kids "with high IQs are more likely to use marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and other illicit drugs as teenagers and adults."
The original study found that British boys and girls both were more likely to have tried illegal drugs by age 30 if they scored high on an IQ test at ages 5 or 10. Even at age 16, higher IQ kids were more likely to have tried pot, and those who tried pot were more likely to have a higher IQ. The relationship persisted even after controlling for parent social class, significant psychological distress during adolescence and adult socioeconomic advantage.
The IQ tests were complicated; for the children at age 5, the researchers used a combination of tests, and then found a "direction" that captured just over 40 percent of the variance of the data. The tests were not traditional IQ tests, but they track reasonably well with IQ, according to the researchers. For children at age 10, the researchers used a modified version of the British Ability Scales, and also choose the "direction" with that best captured the data, in order to have one number to associate with the kids' intelligence. They then normalized the data for both age groups so that 100 represented "average" and 15 points represented one standard deviation.
Data on about 8,000 16 year-olds were analyzed to compare high to low "intelligence" and its relationship to having ever used drugs. The number of these kids who had tried uppers, downers, LSD and heroin were so small that the researchers could not accurately assess the likelihood of such a user to have a high IQ. In contrast, approximately 0.7 percent of boys and 0.6 percent of girls had tried cocaine this age, while 7 percent of boys and 6.3 percent of girls reported having used cannabis. Those who reported cannabis (both boys and girls) were more likely to have had a high "mental ability" score at age 10 than those who did not, and the result was statistically significant. The average male normalized intelligence score at age 10 was 109.65 for kids who tried pot by age 16, and 103.86 for those who had not. For girls, the normalized score for those who had tried pot was 107.74 and those who had not was 101.42. Those who tried cocaine were also more likely to have a higher IQ, but the result was not significant. It should be noted that the results do not exempt average intelligence kids from drug use. These intelligence scores are less than one standard deviation from the norm.
By age 30, many more people had tried pot – so many, in fact, that the authors asked rather whether they had used it in the previous 12 months. The prevalence of cannabis use in the previous year was 35.4 percent for men (with a mean mental ability score of 104.65 at age 10) compared to the remaining 64.6 percent of men who had not (with an average mental ability score of 99.04). Women also saw a difference: 15.9 percent of women had used pot the previous year (mean mental ability score of 105.73). Those who had not been using pot had a mean mental score of 98.10.
While the results of cocaine use were not statistically significant for 16 year olds, by age 30, drug users were demonstrating statistically significant higher "mental abilities." Men who had used cocaine in the past 12 months (8.6 percent) had an average score of 105.80, while those who didn't had an average mental ability score of 101.38. Women who had used cocaine in the past 12 months (3.6 percent) had an average score of 108.10, while those who didn't had an average mental ability score of 100.5. [Note that the reason these numbers suggest that the average "mental ability" is above 100 is due to the fact that the attrition over the years was higher for people who scored lower on the mental ability test.]
Unfortunately, the media neglected to put the study in the context of other information, or even to answer important questions about how strong this connection between IQ and illegal drug use is. First and foremost, the "high IQ" people were just the top third – they were generally not a full standard deviation from the norm. Secondly, the odds ratios were not particularly high. The odds ratio of having tried cannabis for the first tertile of intelligence compared to the third tertile of intelligence at age 5 is 1.90 for men and 3.16 for women. In other words, the odds that a man would try pot if he is of above average intelligence divided by the odds that he would try pot if he is below average intelligence is just under 2 to 1.
Women seem more vulnerable to the intelligence effect, having a higher odds ratio than men for both pot and cocaine at age 30, compared to men. However, men have a higher odds ratio for other drugs – women's intelligence (at ages 5 and 10) does not seem to be associated with the use of the drugs ecstasy and amphetamines, whereas higher intelligence men are more likely to use these drugs than less intelligent men. That said, the important context is that the percentage of men using drugs at least once in the past 12 months is under 9 percent (except for cannabis), and under four percent (except for cannabis) for women. This is far less than, for example, the percentage of people in the first tertile of scorers on the intelligence tests (33 1/3 percent).
Context #2: Overall, people with higher IQ have many more advantages later in life. Clearly, trying illegal drugs is not affecting their overall well-being, compared to their lower-IQ counterparts. As the study itself notes,
"Children and adolescents who score higher on standard tests of intelligence have lower rates of mortality in mid to late adulthood…. [Other] studies suggest that higher child intelligence is linked to a lower likelihood of smoking, increased rates of smoking cessation, physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake in later life. High childhood IQ is also associated with socioeconomic advantage in later life (as indexed by education, occupational social class or income). These studies suggest that the skills captured by intelligence tests in childhood may influence how people manage their health, how they respond to public health messages concerning the risks and benefits of health-related behaviors (e.g., high childhood IQ has been found to predict healthy literacy in old age) and their social and economic circumstances in later life."
Context #3: This study does not give evidence of increased abuse of or addition to illegal substances. The use or experimentation with drugs does not immediately imply that high IQ children are more likely to turn into addicts. The original study does cite evidence that high IQ is correlated to increased dependency on alcohol, however news reports did not mention the alcohol studies. If high IQ were directly correlated with addiction, the implications would be entirely different than if addiction levels were similar among both groups despite more experimentation and "trial" than lower-IQ counterparts.
Context #4: There are social influences. While news reports focused on the possibility that a desire to experiment and self-stimulate is behind the experimentation with drugs, other factors may also be at play, especially with regard to the abuse of drugs. For example, gifted children more frequently report being bored, or the subject of stigmatization, i.e., bullying. Reporting on research on the possible causes behind increased experimentation would be useful for the public to understand these social influences. Are high IQ children responding to negative reactions to their intelligence, or are high IQ children simply bored with their circumstances in life? If indeed the reasons behind the higher rate of having tried illegal drugs stems from trouble with mocking peers as children, perhaps we should identify bullying as the problem rather than high IQ.
News stories without context paint a picture of geniuses doping up for need of stimulation. The real story might be a little less glamorous and a little more varied. Parents can safely read to their children without fearing that it leads to widespread drug addiction.

Hi all,
Today was my first day in my shop kitchen and everything went well with my JKV 60(purchased used and was a bit nervous) but I have two questions for any users of this machine or a similar one:
1) At the end of the day...do you do a full clean down(emptying the machine)? Do you take the wheel off and clean every evening or just scrape it down? I also had a bit of trouble getting the mold spout clean. Obviously I could have just put it under the faucet and washed it but I would have experienced a lot of chocolate waste. It did seem to get quite a bit of buildup behind the wheel as well. Does anyone have a cover that goes over the whole machine...not just the chocolate basin? Any tips/suggestions for dealing with this machine would be appreciated.
It did a great job and I went through about 25lbs of chocolate with no issues. Was a great step up from the 9 months of hand tempering I have been doing(props to those who have been hand tempering for years) and the short period of time I had with my ACMC machine(its now in my 2nd kitchen.)
2) I notice that when I set the temperature of the machine with the red "hand", the actual temperature with the black "hand" seems to be several degrees higher. I monitored it with my own thermometer but was wondering if this was a common aspect of the machine that I need to adjust for or if I should look into replacing the thermometer.
Thanks in advance!
All the best,

Hi Jody,
I would say don't wash the machine down everyday - just scrape the wheel clean as best as you can at the end of the day and put the cover over the tank.
Clean the machine properly maybe once a month, or when you change over chocolates.
re. the second question I have not worked with this particular machine - sorry I can't help.

Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury and was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
After Bowman pulled the ball loose from Jermaine Kearse near the goal line, the Seattle wide receiver fell on Bowman's extended left leg, bending it sideways.
Bowman came to rest with the ball but the Seahawks kept possession and the linebacker was quickly carted off.
After the 49ers lost the game 23-17, coach Jim Harbaugh said preliminary tests showed Bowman likely had an ACL injury.
Bowman, 25, had 145 tackles and five sacks in 16 games this past season. The Pro Bowl linebacker has been durable, playing 16 games in all of his four NFL seasons and registering at least 143 tackles in each of the last three.

Lower-Carb Diet Reduces Dangerous Fat in Some
Diane Fennell
June 24, 2011
A slight reduction in carbohydrate intake may help decrease a person's level of dangerous visceral fat, or deep abdominal fat, even if he has not lost any weight, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Visceral fat, which surrounds abdominal organs, increases the risk of developing insulin resistance (a component of Type 2 diabetes), heart disease, and various other conditions.
Researchers recruited 69 overweight but healthy men and women. The participants were given food for two consecutive eight-week periods; the first period consisted of a weight-maintenance meal plan, and the second period consisted of a weight-loss meal plan that cut each person's calories by 1,000 each day. The participants received either a standard lower-fat diet, comprised of 55% of calories from carbohydrate and 27% of calories from fat, or a slightly higher-fat diet that had a modest reduction in the carbohydrate content. This diet, which contained foods that were relatively low on the glycemic index (a ranking of carbohydrate-containing foods based on how quickly they raise blood glucose levels), was comprised of 43% of calories from carbohydrate and 39% of calories from fat. In both diets, the final 18% of calories came from protein. At the beginning and end of each phase of the study, the participants had their visceral fat and total body fat measured using different types of medical scans.
When they analyzed the results, the researchers found that during the weight-loss phase of the study, participants on both of the diets lost weight, but those on the lower-carbohydrate diet averaged a 4% greater loss of total body fat. Moreover, during the weight-maintenance phase, people on the lower-carbohydrate diet were found to have 11% less visceral fat than people on the standard diet. After analyzing these results by race, the researchers determined that this result was exclusive to whites, who generally have more deep abdominal fat than blacks (even when matched for body weight or percent body fat).
According to lead study author Barbara Gower, PhD, decreasing the amount of visceral fat "could help reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, stroke, and coronary artery disease. For individuals willing to go on a weight-loss diet, a modest reduction in carbohydrate-containing foods may help them preferentially lose fat, rather than lean tissue. The moderately reduced carbohydrate diet allows a variety of foods to meet personal preferences."
For more information, see the press release "Cut Down On 'Carbs' to Reduce Body Fat, Study Authors Say" from The Endocrine Society.
I understand the theory but I just don't know how to put it into practice.

The Jezebellion Wave
We're not sure how many FBNY readers have been keeping up with the whole Jezebel kerfuffle — between the July 4 holiday and going Canadian we mostly missed it. However, since it continues to pop up in conversations and online we thought it was worth a mention.
Short version: Jezebel's Moe Tkacik and Tracie "Slut Machine" Egan appeared on Lizz Winstead's "Shoot the Messenger: Thinking and Drinking" show a few weeks ago and proceeded to drink (to some excess). Over the course of what was supposed to be a fun(ny) hour, talk turned to rape at which point the host turned suddenly serious (earlier talk of abortion somehow did not merit a finger-waving response). At this point the crowd began to express its displeasure(?) over the fact the ladies were drunk and seemingly making light of serious subjects and/or not as articulate as their writing has lead people to believe they should be. For her part the host appeared displeased that the ladies weren't kissing either her or Gloria Steinem's ass (one wonders, does she read Jezebel?). In the words of Karina Longworth "cross-generational feminist chaos" ensued. (Longworth has a great write-up here).

Animal Models of Neuropathic Pain Due to Nerve Injury

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Chronic neuropathic pain is a frequent outcome of nervous system injury affecting the somatosensory system, and its pathobiology is dependent on activation and disinhibition of nociceptive neurons. It is characterised by spontaneous pain, dysaesthesia/paraesthesia as well as hypersensitivity to normally non-painful (allodynia) and painful (hyperalgesia) mechanical and thermal stimuli. Behavioural disabilities, such as depression, insomnia and alterations in social behaviours, are also co-morbid with changes in sensation. To investigate the mechanisms which result in neuropathic pain, animal models of neuropathy were developed by performing standardised, reproducible nerve injuries via surgical manipulation of a peripheral nerve. Here, we present four commonly used models in laboratory rodents for the study of neuropathic pain: (1) chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve, (2) partial sciatic nerve ligation, (3) L5 and/or L6 spinal nerve ligation and (4) the spared nerve injury, where two of the three terminal sciatic branches are cut. Rodents which have undergone any one of these procedures routinely display increased pain responses, such as allodynia and hyperalgesia of the hindpaw, lasting up to several months. Investigators should be aware however that such animal models suffer from several limitations including inconsistency in predicting the clinical success of novel therapeutics, poor correlation with clinical neuropathic pain in terms of prevalent symptoms and timescale and the need to assess operant/affective behavioural responses in addition to reflexive withdrawals from mechanical and thermal stimuli. Despite these limitations, animal models of peripheral nerve injury combined with testing of pain hypersensitivity remain necessary to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic agents to treat chronic neuropathic pain.

NORRIS, TENN (WVLT) -- Firefighters with Andersonville Fire Department say they were called to a home on Jim Wilson Road around 7 a.m. They say no one was hurt in the fire and that the home was vacant.
Firefighters say they had to call in help from firefighters in surrounding areas to help get the fire out because only 4 firefighters from the Andersonville Fire Department showed up.
Andersonville is a volunteer based department, of which the chief says many of them work during the day and can't leave everytime there's a fire call. Chief Jeff Bagwell says Wednesday's fire is an example of why the community needs to make a decision about what type of fire coverage they want to have in the future.
"We'd like for the county to provide more funds, in this kind of economic times it's tough. The biggest thing we need the county to do is just help us raise money, and eliminate some of the road blocks," said Bagwell. "The of Andersonville need to decide if we're providing the coverage they want or not?"
The department runs off $100,000 a year, the county supplies $20,000, the rest is made up from private donations.
Right now, much of the fire coverage comes from other departments through what's called a mutual aid agreement. Clinton Fire Department was just one of those who arrived to helped in Wednesday's fire.
"If we have the equipment and manpower, not to abandon our city here and we can still protect our city, we can go help other fire departments in one area," said Lt. Bradley Allen with the Clinton Fire Department. "But we won't leave our city uncovered incase something happens here."
Firefighters say they were faced with water problems as well. There were no hydrants nearby and a narrow driveway made it hard for firefighters to get trucks in and out of the area.
"It was really hard to get trucks in and out at all times. You'd empty one truck and have to wait for the others to empty," added Allen. "The road, you couldn't go in and out."
The cause of the fire is said to be suspicious only because no one was living at the home. The cause is under investigation.

(CBS News) Concept cars never really reflect the vehicles that end up driving on the road. They overreach. They show us what cars could, conceivably, be one day. So don't get too excited about this Hover car Concept from Volkswagen. Well, maybe get a little excited. It is a hover car, after all.
Volkswagen, which translates to "people's car" in English, challenged China residents to submit their ideas of what the car of the future should look like. The company sifted through more than 119,000 ideas submitted to the project website and compiled three concepts, including the Hover Car.
The Hover Car is a two-seater zero emissions vehicle that hovers above ground and travels along electromagnetic road networks. It can detect other vehicles on the road while navigating China's congested traffic centers, and its small footprint makes it easy to park.
It is farfetched, sure. But maybe not as much as you'd think. Automotive designers around the world have pushed for electromagnetic highways. A group at Stanford University has been working on the design of a true electric highway. A true hover car may be far away, but maybe not that far.

xthred, 36, 42, 52, 39. Whatever, math is hard. Thank god it wasn't a metric round.Noteworthy Comment +10
Disdain spews from their collective lips.
Just nowhere to go with that story for the reporters.

That just warms my heart!
Shoot him! SHOOT HIM!!
Ahhhhh, now that's gun safety!Noteworthy Comment +26
Dirty Harriet … love this.Noteworthy Comment +11
Low information journalists.Hey, hey georgie girl, that was a .38. No matter, georgie will be on tee vee all year talking "expert" stuff on guns, the 2nd Amendment, and so forth. What a puz.
Claudia: Ditto. My heart went all aflutter.Shoot him!Noteworthy Comment +10
Be a real pity if someone pulled the plug on that scumbag while he's laying in the hospitalNoteworthy Comment +10
Can you imagine? "many people celebrating this story." No shit Steve.Noteworthy Comment +10
If it really was a 36 caliber pistol, then it was a black powder revolver. I think I read in another article that it was a 38, though.+5
The Colt 1851 Navy revolver is 36 cal. but who in the hell would use a Civil War cap and ball revolver for home defense?
The lib don't know shit about guns. Fuckin overpaid clown.+4
Behind the scenes and off-camera, George's boss had a gun pointed at his head and said to do the story, or else.+5
My home defense weapons are a modern reproduction of a LaMat revolver(9 shot .44 cal cap & ball + 1 shot 20 gauge black powder shotgun), and a reproduction of an 18th century flint lock blunderbuss in modern gun steel.+4
Most Appropriate Title Award for all time goes to Mr. Pinko!
Yes, asshats, we always celebrate the good and innocent when they triumph over evil. And we are sorry and have empathy for… the good and innocent when they are traumatized by evil bastards like the intruder, or callous arrogant reporters that try their damnedest to generate sympaty for the shithead – now swiss cheese shithead!
I hope and pray the family recovers and can regain some sense of security everntually.Noteworthy Comment +10
"The Colt 1851 Navy revolver is 36 cal. but who in the hell would use a Civil War cap and ball revolver for home defense?"
Those and a ball bat is all we will have if Obama and the retards have their way.+5
One Notch Above a Congresscritter,
in that case you could always use one in order to acquire a more modern weapon from an invading constitution-hating tyrant. Could be fun.+5
The husband said they had recently been at the range. He probably told her to 'shoot to kill', and she emptied the gun on his free-loading, sorry ass.
Bet she's been shopping for something with a little more punch.+7
@"That Guy"
The only advantage with black powder is that you can make it out of dirt and sulfur. Takes to long to reload, too much smoke, slow burning.
Better than nothing though.+3
Could you make up a more iconic story?
Black, newly freed black felon, invades an occupied home, targets a child….. this story's a racist's fantasy !
His image on my screen is blurry, does he happen to resemble Oblabla ?!+5
Stephy is an idoit Left Wing Extremist who isn't comfortable reporting on the proper use of firearms. I'm sure in his mind the proper use of a firearm is only in a totalitarian Police State to keep the masses in line.
The woman was armed with a .38 which with proper ammo gets the job done…but again it is only a 6 shot revolver…what if there had been more than one perp?+4
Proper ammo? Why do they call it buck shot?+2
From ATW: "Takes to long to reload, too much smoke, slow burning."
Black Powder doesn't burn, it explodes. Peak pressure is another issue, won't go there right now.+1
She made a mistake by not making sure she killed him. He may seek vengeance if and when he gets out of prison.+6
Obama's son neeed to use the toilet and he forgot his key. He followed the Honkie kid cause he didn't know where the bathroom was, He had to breakdown the doors so he could ask that cracker babe for the toilet paper.
This whole episode illustrates just how racist Americans are…make that White-Americans are+1
Do these libstains even know what trauma this woman will be going through for the rest of her life? A newly-released convicted felon broke into her house. She had to shoot him to protect her children while her husband was on the phone to 9-1-1. She will probably be having nightmares for months or years. That is the tragedy in this story. She should sue the department of corrections for emotional distress.
And something to remember, libstains. The husband was on the phone to 9-1-1 (as you demand) and the police WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. Had she not had a gun for home defense, you idiots would be reporting a home invasion with a dead family and the police having very little in the way of leads.
Momma Bear, with an 0bama voter trying to get between her and her cubs.+2
Slater was shot 5 times in the face and neck.
Damn! I know we are all taught to aim for the largest mass (torso) because that is a better guarantee of a hit. But 5 times with a .38 in the face and neck? Nice grouping! With that kind of accuracy, had she put 2 or 3 into his chest, his heart would have exploded and the taxpayers wouldn't now be footing the medical bill for this 0bama voter.+3
36 Cal FAIL!0

1966: To Hell With the Beatles
9 Responses
Kind of prophetic, isn't it?
Mr Grimsby
Well… considering that the two Beatles in the picture are the two still alive…
… and considering the high to near-certain likelihood of the non-existence of an actual Hell (in the Biblical sense)…
… I'd have to say the answer to your question is a resounding "no".
@ Mr Grimsby
Well said sir.
I believe she means it to be prophetic in the sense that it was Paul who broke up the Beatles (contrary to popular thought and Yoko-theories), and Ringo remains to be the one who seems to have loved his band the most.
@Michelle – Paul didn't break up the Beatles. He was the one most responsible for keeping them together for so long, even though three of them (Ringo excluded) were already working alone on different projects. Secondly, John's symbiotic relationship with Yoko Ono and his refusal to be apart from her even while recording, put a severe strain on the band – moatly because she couldn't seem to shut up for five minutes and John lapped up everything she said. George was growing ever more frustrated at being what he perceived as second fiddle to Paul and John, and there some critical money problems, made worse by John's insistence on employing Alan Klein.
if all those that burned there lps and stuff only know how much money they would of had today.. wow dummies ..
and as for as who really broke the Beatles up.. it really doesn't matter .. now.. does it..it happened .. it was a part of history.. and the only to that live still today are Paul and Ringo.and still play to sold out vinues.
I am a collector of Beatle and monkees items.. and i do collect other oldies 45s.. and lps. ..i think the beatles was the most pop band of its time .. and to me its not who did this or that .. to split them up.. its is how much is this or that
Sandi Waters
Well, all of these are great comments and I appreciate them one and all. Now, that being said, as I consider myself to be one of the biggest Beatles fans alive, I must agree with Ray about the break up and who caused it and to Michelle I must say it does make a difference to me and all the other multitude of fans out there – we're just like that. Anyway, I also have some old original Beatles stuff I have collected from the 60′s – don't know if you would be interested. Anyway, I do remember this incident. John said they were more popular than Jesus.
Now is this Paul of Faul?
John never said they were bigger than Jesus. He said they could draw a bigger crowd. More a comment on humanity than a religious values statement. They didn't get it.

If you've ever been in any sort of budget planning or project cost estimation meeting at a large corporation, you know how completely silly they can be (especially so for software and IT infrastructure projects). Wildly optimistic or bloated numbers get thrown around that usually have less to do with hard facts than they do with internal political bullshit. Sometimes when I hear these massive numbers I start to wonder, "How would the cost and time estimate for this project stack up against, say, the cost and time it took to build the Golden Gate Bridge?"
So I finally sat down and did a little research on five major historic construction projects, with costs adjusted to 2012 dollars (see below). So the next time someone at the mega corporation where you work says, "We estimate upgrading to Windows 7 will cost $42 Million and take three years", you can indignantly howl, "We could build the friggin' Eiffel Tower in that time, and for less money!"
Cost: $144 Million ($17 Million in 1954)
Time to Complete: 1 year 0 months 1 day
Golden Gate Bridge
Cost: $557 Million ($35 Million in 1937)
Time to Complete: 4 years 3 months 14 days
Empire State Building
Cost: $618 Million ($41 Million in 1931)
Time to Complete: 1 year 1 month 15 days
Eiffel Tower
Cost: $36 Million ($1.5 Million in 1887)
Time to Complete: 2 years 2 months 30 days
(A TV show called "Pricing the Priceless" apparently claims the true 2011 cost to build the tower would actually be $480 Million. I have no idea why that's so high, other than that they're baking in not just inflation but regulatory, union and comprehensive planning costs.)
RMS Titanic
Cost: $174 Million ($7.5 Million in 1909)
Time to Complete: 3 years 0 months 2 days
(You may not want to compare your project to this one.)

Peter Wortsman - Ghost Dance in Berlin
Part memoir, part travelogue, Ghost Dance in Berlin: A Rhapsody in Gray ($14.95) is an unlikely declaration of love, as much to a place as to a state of mind, by the American-born son of German-speaking Jewish refugees. Peter Wortsman imagines the parallel celebratory haunting of two sets of ghosts, those of the exiled erstwhile owners, a Jewish banker and his family, and those of the Führer's Minister of Finance and his entourage, who took over title, while in another villa across the lake another gaggle of ghosts is busy planning the Final Solution.
Peter Wortsman writes short stories, plays, travelogues, essays and poetry, and also translates from the German, which he considers another form of border crossing. He is the author of A Modern Way to Die, a book of short fiction, and Burning Words, a play produced in 2006 at the Northampton Center for the Arts in Northampton, Mass., and slated for production in Pforzheim, Germany, in 2014. His travel pieces have run in major American newspapers and been featured four years in a row in Travelers' Tales' The Best Travel Writing. A 2010 Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, he was the recipient of the Solas Awards' 2012 Gold Grand Prize for Best Travel Story of the Year.
