Hisentire campaign — whichwon him more delegatesthan Mitt Romney’s lavishlyfinanced operation — consistedof showing up for anytelevision program that wouldhave him, and turning on <strong>the</strong>charm.It’s no surprise, <strong>the</strong>n, thatHuckabee prefers his <strong>new</strong>life as a Fox News host to <strong>the</strong>dubious pleasures of ano<strong>the</strong>rpresidential run. But he’ll bemissed in <strong>the</strong> 2012 race, andnot just because his absencepromises to dramaticallyreduce <strong>the</strong> entertainmentvalue of <strong>the</strong> Republicandebates.He’ll be missed because heembodied a political persuasionthat’s common in Americanlife but rare in America’s politicalclass. This worldview mixescultural conservatism with economicpopulism: it’s tax-sensitivewithout being stridently antigovernment,skepticalof Wall Street as wellas Washington, andas concerned aboutimmigration, familybreakdown and publicmorals as it is about <strong>the</strong>debt ceiling.This combination ofviews represents one of <strong>the</strong>plausible middle groundsin American politics. Youcan find it in <strong>the</strong> RepublicanParty, among <strong>the</strong> evangelicalsand Catholics whose votesmade <strong>the</strong> presidencies ofRonald Reagan and GeorgeW. Bush possible. You canfind it among independentvoters, particularly in whata recent Pew report calls <strong>the</strong>“disaffected” demographic,whose hostility to big governmentcoexists with anxietiesabout corporate power andsupport for redistributionof wealth. And you find it in<strong>the</strong> Democratic Party as well— from <strong>the</strong> dwindling ranksof pro-life Catholic liberalsto <strong>the</strong> “Bill Cosby conservatives”in <strong>the</strong> African-Americanmiddle class.But few of <strong>the</strong>se people aremembers of <strong>the</strong> Americanelite. Call someone a “centrist”or a “moderate” in<strong>the</strong> salons of Washingtonor New York, and everyo<strong>new</strong>ill assume that you’re talkingabout a deficit hawkwho supports open borders,or a Republican CEO whowrites checks to PlannedParenthood. Among ourleadership class, centrisminvariably means somecombination of big-businessconservatism and socialprogressivism — <strong>the</strong>politics of pro-choiceRepublicans, hedgefund Democrats andMichael Bloombergindependents.This is whyHuckabee’s 2008 campaignseemed to come out ofnowhere. The press wasbaffled, and often delighted:Here was a right-wing politicianwho talked easily abou<strong>the</strong>alth care and admitted that<strong>the</strong> Bush economy had beenlousy for working families.(There would have been lessdelight, of course, if he hadactually won <strong>the</strong> Republicannomination: Then all <strong>the</strong> talkwould have turned to hissupposedly “scary” views onissues like abortion.)Republican elites, meanwhile,were appalled. Theycalled him a class warriorand a pro-life liberal, andregularly insinuated that hehad jumped above his station.(Lisa Schiffren, a formerspeechwriter for Dan Quayle,memorably suggested thatHuckabee go back to “thatbait shop on <strong>the</strong> lake. ... You’llbe surrounded by nice neighbors,real Christians, and youcan be <strong>the</strong> smartest guy in <strong>the</strong>room.”)Never mind thatHuckabee’s record as governorof Arkansas was at least asconservative as Mitt Romney’sin Massachusetts. Somehow,<strong>the</strong> Romney of 2008 justseemed like a more plausibleRepublican nominee. Likemany American politicalentrepreneurs, from GeorgeW. Bush to John Edwards toRush Limbaugh, he was awell-connected rich guy posingas a populist. WhereasHuckabee really was a populist— a graduate of OuachitaBaptist University ra<strong>the</strong>r thanHarvard Business School, anda man with no interest in <strong>the</strong>rhetorical correctness andinterest-group ring-kissingthat both parties expect of<strong>the</strong>ir nominees.Of course, his 2008campaign also reflectedpopulism’s inevitable flaw: adesperate lack of policy substance.Huckabee won votesby talking about issues that<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r Republican candidateswouldn’t touch, buthis actual agenda was a grabbag of gimmicks and crankideas. And nothing in his subsequenttelevision career hasindicated a strong interest inputting policy meat on <strong>the</strong>bones of his worldview.Still, his candidacy illuminateda path that morepoliticians should take. Welive in an age of economicstagnation and social crisis,and <strong>the</strong> two are intimatelyconnected. The collapse of<strong>the</strong> two-parent family andunfettered low-skilled immigrationhave made Americamore stratified. The WallStreet-Washington axis reallydid drive <strong>the</strong> country into aditch.For all his faults, MikeHuckabee k<strong>new</strong> how to talkabout <strong>the</strong>se problems. Nowwe need leaders with ideas forwhat do about <strong>the</strong>m.Ross Douthat is a syndicatedcolumnist with The NewYork Times.Nice guys finish first — an evolving perspective of human evolutionBY DAVID BROOKSThe New York TimesThe story of evolution,we have been told, is<strong>the</strong> story of <strong>the</strong> survivalof <strong>the</strong> fittest. The strong eat <strong>the</strong>weak. The creatures that adaptto <strong>the</strong> environment pass on<strong>the</strong>ir selfish genes. Those thatdo not become extinct.In this telling, we humansare like all o<strong>the</strong>r animals— deeply and thoroughly selfish.We spend our time tryingto maximize our outcomes —competing for status, wealthand mating opportunities.Behavior that seems altruisticis really self-interest in disguise.Charity and fellowshipare <strong>the</strong> cultural drapery atop<strong>the</strong> iron logic of nature.All this is partially true, ofcourse. Yet every day, it seems,a book crosses my desk,emphasizing a different sideof <strong>the</strong> story. These are booksabout sympathy, empathy,cooperation and collaboration,written by scientists,evolutionary psychologists,neuroscientists ando<strong>the</strong>rs. It seems <strong>the</strong>re’sbeen a shift amongthose who study thisground, yielding amore nuanced, andoften gentler picture ofour nature.The most modestof <strong>the</strong>se is“SuperCooperators” by MartinNowak with Roger Highfield.Nowak uses higher math todemonstrate that “cooperationand competition are foreverentwined in a tight embrace.”In pursuing our self-interestedgoals, we often have anincentive to repay kindnesswith kindness, so o<strong>the</strong>rs willdo us favors when we’re inneed. We have an incentiveto establish a reputation forniceness, so people will wantto work with us. We have anincentive to work in teams,even against our short-termself-interest because cohesivegroups thrive. Cooperationis as central to evolutionas mutation and selection,Nowak argues.But much of <strong>the</strong><strong>new</strong> work movesbeyond incentives,narrowly understood.MichaelTomasello, <strong>the</strong>author of “Why WeCooperate,” deviseda series of tests tha<strong>the</strong> could give tochimps and toddlers in nearlyidentical form. He found thatat an astonishingly early agekids begin to help o<strong>the</strong>rs, andto share information, in waysthat adult chimps hardly everdo.An infant of 12 monthswill inform o<strong>the</strong>rs aboutsomething by pointing.Chimpanzees and o<strong>the</strong>r apesdo not helpfully inform eacho<strong>the</strong>r about things. Infantsshare food readily with strangers.Chimpanzees rarely evenoffer food to <strong>the</strong>ir own offspring.If a 14-month-old childsees an adult having difficulty— like being unable to opena door because her hands arefull — <strong>the</strong> child will try to help.Tomasello’s point is that<strong>the</strong> human mind veered awayfrom that of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r primates.We are born ready tocooperate, and <strong>the</strong>n we buildcultures to magnify this trait.In “Born to Be Good,”Dacher Keltner describes <strong>the</strong>work he and o<strong>the</strong>rs are doingon <strong>the</strong> mechanisms of empathyand connection, involvingthings like smiles, blushes,laughter and touch. Whenfriends laugh toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong>irlaughs start out as separatevocalizations, but <strong>the</strong>y mergeand become intertwinedsounds. It now seems asthough laughter evolved millionsof years ago, long beforevowels and consonants, as amechanism to build cooperation.It is one of <strong>the</strong> many toolsin our inborn toolbox of collaboration.In one essay, Keltnercites <strong>the</strong> work of <strong>the</strong> EmoryUniversity neuroscientistsJames Rilling and GregoryBerns. They found that <strong>the</strong>act of helping ano<strong>the</strong>r persontriggers activity in <strong>the</strong> caudatenucleus and anterior cingulatecortex regions of <strong>the</strong> brain, <strong>the</strong>parts involved in pleasure andreward. That is, serving o<strong>the</strong>rsmay produce <strong>the</strong> same sort ofpleasure as gratifying a personaldesire.In his book, “The RighteousMind,” to be published earlynext year, Jonathan Haidt joinsEdward O. Wilson, David SloanWilson, and o<strong>the</strong>rs who arguethat natural selection takesplace not only when individualscompete with o<strong>the</strong>rindividuals, but also whengroups compete with o<strong>the</strong>rgroups. Both competitions areexamples of <strong>the</strong> survival of <strong>the</strong>fittest, but when groups compete,it’s <strong>the</strong> cohesive, cooperative,internally altruisticgroups that win and pass on<strong>the</strong>ir genes. The idea of “groupselection” was heresy a fewyears ago, but <strong>the</strong>re is momentumbehind it now.Human beings, Haidtargues, are “<strong>the</strong> giraffes ofaltruism.” Just as giraffes gotlong necks to help <strong>the</strong>m survive,humans developed moralminds that help <strong>the</strong>m and<strong>the</strong>ir groups succeed. Humansbuild moral communities outof shared norms, habits, emotionsand gods, and <strong>the</strong>n willfight and even sometimes dieto defend <strong>the</strong>ir communities.Different interpretations ofevolution produce differentways of analyzing <strong>the</strong> world.The selfish-competitor modelfostered <strong>the</strong> utility-maximizingmodel that is so prevalent in<strong>the</strong> social sciences, particularlyeconomics. The <strong>new</strong>, morecooperative view will complicateall that.But <strong>the</strong> big upshot is this:For decades, people tried todevise a rigorous “scientific”system to analyze behaviorthat would be divorced frommorality. But if cooperationpermeates our nature, <strong>the</strong>n sodoes morality, and <strong>the</strong>re is noescaping ethics, emotion andreligion in our quest to understandwho we are and how wegot this way.David Brooks is a syndicatedcolumnist with The New YorkTimes.

Hewished her <strong>the</strong> best and told her he loves her.Winfrey announced in November 2009 thatshe would end “The Oprah Winfrey Show” thisseason after 25 years.BY ANDREW SELIGMANThe Associated PressDEERFIELD, Ill. — There wasn’t much elseLeBron James could do o<strong>the</strong>r than shrug it alloff and vow to perform better in Game 2 of <strong>the</strong>Eastern Conference finals.Game 1 certainly didn’t go well for <strong>the</strong> Miami.With James and Dwyane Wade struggling, and<strong>the</strong> Heat getting beaten badly on <strong>the</strong> boards,Chris Bosh’s 30 points weren’t enough to bail out<strong>the</strong> Heat in <strong>the</strong> opener. The top-seeded ChicagoBulls won, 103-82, and now have a chance tograb a commanding lead when <strong>the</strong> seriesresumes tonight at <strong>the</strong> United Center.“We’ve been able to bounce back this yearno matter if it’s been <strong>the</strong> regular season or <strong>the</strong>postseason,” James said. “Learn from mistakesin <strong>the</strong> previous game and <strong>the</strong>n move on.We’ve done that. We’re looking forward to <strong>the</strong>challenge, we’re excited about tomorrow’s opportunityto be here and try to steal homecourt.”If <strong>the</strong>y don’t get more from James and Wade,<strong>the</strong> Heat won’t get that chance, and a 2-0 deficitis more daunting than it sounds. The Bulls neverlost more than two in a row on <strong>the</strong>ir way to aleague-leading 62 wins and <strong>the</strong>ir first conferencefinals appearance since <strong>the</strong> second championshipthree-peat 13 years ago. They swept threeclose games from <strong>the</strong> Heat during <strong>the</strong> regularseason and are off to a good start in this series.James and Wadecame in on asurge, only tohave <strong>the</strong> plugpulled againstone of <strong>the</strong>league’s stingiestdefenses.Coming offback-to-back gameswith 35 and 33 points againstBY BRIAN MAHONEYThe Associated PressSECAUCUS, N.J. — TheCleveland Cavaliers got a hugejump on <strong>the</strong>ir post-LeBronJames rebuilding processTuesday night, winning <strong>the</strong> lotteryand <strong>the</strong> No. 1 selection innext month’s NBA draft.Turning a pick <strong>the</strong>y acquiredfrom <strong>the</strong> Los Angeles Clippersinto <strong>the</strong> No. 1 selection, <strong>the</strong> Cavswill pick first for <strong>the</strong> first timesince 2003, when <strong>the</strong>y draftedJames out of high school.He left for Miami last summerand <strong>the</strong> Cavs tumbled toBoston in <strong>the</strong> semifinals, James scored just 15 in<strong>the</strong> opener while hitting 5 of 15 shots. He couldn’tshake Luol Deng or active big men like Taj Gibsonand Joakim Noah helping out.Wade didn’t have much luck, ei<strong>the</strong>r, after averaging30.2 points against <strong>the</strong> Celtics. He finishedwith 18 points — six in <strong>the</strong> second half — and <strong>the</strong>Bulls broke it open down <strong>the</strong> stretch on <strong>the</strong>ir wayto a lopsided victory.“I think we’ve got to play better,” said Deng, whoscored 21 points. “I really do. We played really well.If you look at <strong>the</strong> final score, we won bya lot, but it really wasn’t that kind ofgame. It really wasn’t. It was tied at <strong>the</strong>half. They had <strong>the</strong> lead at some pointin <strong>the</strong> third quarter. So <strong>the</strong>re’s a lot ofthings we’ve got to get better at.”He saw too many fastbreaks in<strong>the</strong> early going, some sloppyball handling.

The weekafter graduation, one of my close friendsis getting married. I have no qualmsabout <strong>the</strong> marriage, but I’m confusedabout <strong>the</strong> pre-wedding parties.The bride and groomare registered at three storesand have had a Tupperwareparty already. However, I havereceived an invitation to alingerie party to which guestshave been instructed to bring <strong>the</strong>bride lingerie with gift receiptsattached.Am I wrong in thinking thatbuying intimate apparel is <strong>the</strong>responsibility of <strong>the</strong> couple? Iplan to buy <strong>the</strong>m a wedding gift from<strong>the</strong> registry, but I feel odd being askedto essentially contribute to <strong>the</strong>ir sex life.Abby, if I decline <strong>the</strong> invitation, whatwould be <strong>the</strong> proper way to do it? --BRINGING A BLENDER IN MONTANADEAR B.A.B.: If you are unable toattend <strong>the</strong> shower, all you need to sayis you’re unavailable on that date. Youdo not have to give a reason. However,lingerie showers can be a fun way forwomen to bond with each o<strong>the</strong>r. I onceattended one at which a guest jokinglybrought <strong>the</strong> bride a pair of handcuffs.(In Montana, a set of spurs might makean interesting gag gift.)However, if you prefer not to“contribute to <strong>the</strong> couple’s sex life,”why not bring a high-necked flannelnightgown? Your gift could be <strong>the</strong> talkof <strong>the</strong> party.Readers, care to offer any o<strong>the</strong>r giftsuggestions?DEAR ABBY: I represent OperationPaperback: Recycled Reading for <strong>the</strong>Troops.
