Mid-Nite, “Clock,” or Hourman, and “Mister Terrific” Terry Sloane. The villains aren’t ones associated with the team, and of the four main heroes, only three are really JSAers – “Owl,” aka Dr. While it is undoubtedly an engaging story that looks absolutely gorgeous, it is, at best, only half a JSA story. “The Liberty File,” the first of these minis, is in many ways the middle ground between the two series that follows. Here, the JSA, Batman, and others are all reimagined as players in the battle against the Nazis, government agents instead of vigilantes. That is certainly the case for Tony Harris, the connective tissue between the three miniseries that fall under the ‘Liberty Files’ heading. There is a gene in creators of a certain age that romanticizes both pulp heroes and World War II, often times together. Now the Allies’ secret heroes Owl, Clock and Bat battle for the safety of the world. An Elseworlds tale! As World War II rages around the globe, a vicious albino smuggler intercepts a parcel whose contents could change the outcome of the war.

In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim-that we are fundamentally groupish. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. His starting point is moral intuition-the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. Why can’t our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.

That’s exactly what happened with one of Jesus’ disciples, a little-known man named Thomas who was among the twelve closest to Jesus.
