The Year In Ideas:

Law prof Ian Ayres of Balkinization writes:

Thank you Instapundit. The New York Times writer, Christopher Shea, saw my earlier post on Criminalizing Reckless Sex, when Glen[n] Reynolds linked to it. And the Times Sunday Magazine included the idea in today’s “The Year in Ideas” issue.

Instapundit — where the New York Times looks for big ideas.

UPDATE: Or not. Christopher Shea writes in to say that he read about Criminalizing Reckless Sex from Balkinization itself. Plus, he’s a freelancer, not an NYT writer. So make that: “Balkinization — where freelancers who are writing for the New York Times look for big ideas.” Sorry, Glenn.
