Commercial drone companies are testing and creating agriculture, medical, and home delivery services in countries around the world. Yet progress in the United States has been slow, in part because of a lack of clarity about federal and state roles in drone and airspace management. To jump-start the drone industry, states can create drone highways—aerial corridors above public roads. In “Is Your State Ready for Drone Commerce?” Brent Skorup presents a state-by-state scorecard.

A small segment of American progressives is zealously prosecuting a war against all aspects of U.S. society that don’t toe their ever-evolving moral lines. They are the “New Puritans” with whom Noah Rothman engages in his book, “The Rise of the New Puritans,” which places their illiberal progressive ideology within the broader sweep of American social history. Like the original Puritans, the New Puritans seek to enforce their ideology in all aspects of life, subordinating everything to their political agenda. Rothman argues that the best way to combat this ideology is to be a joyful dissenter and mock those who insist on sacrificing spontaneity, risk and frivolity.
