Biography
Now a special projects editor at New America, I am a writer and. teacher. I write about politics, policy, cities, history, psychology, and sports. I teach writing to a wide range of audiences from college (Yale, Columbia) to professionals to aspiring authors. I am now completing two books: • Anatomy of a Failure: Woodrow Wilson, Henry Cabot Lodge,m and the Strange Death of the League of Nations • Rules of Activism: Dissent, Organizing, and Direct Action in American Politics I am also about 75 percent done with a book on the role of screens in teaching and learning. I love assignments in which I can tell stories that speak to trends and research about how the world works. I am an intensive researcher and interviewer. Writing books has taught me how to go deep on any topic. My rule of thumb for knowing when the research is enough: when you no longer get fresh info and insights from interviewees and other materials.

By Charles Euchner, Jessica May Tang, Michael Jonas Verified|CommonWealthVerifiedImagine a baseball team run on the same organizational model as a typical school. Players would join not because they love the game, but because reformers in the 19th century decided that all children should play. Players would learn by attending classes all day. They would sit at desks arranged in rows, listening to teachers explain the history of baseball, pitching, hitting, fielding, strategy, statistical analysis, and the culture of baseball and sports.

Twenty eighth-graders stream into the gym and pick up heart monitors lying in a straight line on a desk. The students wrap the long black plastic bands around their chests, slip on wristbands that record the heart signals sent from the bands, and start to move. Some stretch their legs. Some shoot baskets. Some run laps.
By Charles Euchner, Jessica May Tang, Michael Jonas Verified|CommonWealthVerifiedresidents of massachusetts do not need to be reminded just how expensive construction can be. Now practically as famous as the Freedom Trail or the Red Sox, the Big Dig has come to represent everything good and bad about the Bay State. Once estimated to cost $2.2 billion, the tunnel and highway project cost more than $15 billion by the time it opened-and it almost immediately revealed terrible construction flaws, like the roof panels that fell and killed a Jamaica Plain woman in July 2006.
