Book excerpt: Provisions of the Clean Air Act targeted the anti-knock lead additive tetraethyl-lead in automotive gasoline, specifying a phase-out schedule commencing in 1975. Because emissions from automobile gasoline were the predominant source of lead exposure in children, the phase-out caused a precipitous drop in measured child blood lead levels. Exigencies pertaining to petroleum and automobile industries caused meaningful variation in lead emissions across states between 1975 and 1990. Exploiting this temporal and spatial variation in the phase out leaded gasoline, we estimate the deleterious effects of early childhood lead exposure on standardized test performance later-in-life. Using a nationally representative sample of individuals born during the phase out, we find consistent evidence of later-in-life impairment on standardized tests from early childhood lead exposure. Paralleling observed reductions in gasoline tetraethyl-lead concentrations and child blood lead levels, we find that policy-caused reductions of childhood lead exposure improved test scores by 0.13 to 0.17 standard deviations. We find that the suppression of standardized test performance from early childhood lead exposure was likely dose-responsive and uniform through the distribution of test performance. Together, results are compatible with the nascent but growing scientific literature on the longer-term health and human capital consequences of early childhood lead exposure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Warren Court of the 1950s and 1960s was the most liberal in American history. Yet within a few short years, new appointments redirected the Court in a more conservative direction, a trend that continued for decades. However, even after Warren retired and the makeup of the court changed, his Court cast a shadow that extends to our own era. In The Long Reach of the Sixties, Laura Kalman focuses on the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Presidents Johnson and Nixon attempted to dominate the Court and alter its course. Using newly released--and consistently entertaining--recordings of Lyndon Johnson's and Richard Nixon's telephone conversations, she roots their efforts to mold the Court in their desire to protect their Presidencies. The fierce ideological battles--between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches--that ensued transformed the meaning of the Warren Court in American memory. Despite the fact that the Court's decisions generally reflected public opinion, the surrounding debate calcified the image of the Warren Court as activist and liberal. Abe Fortas's embarrassing fall and Nixon's campaign against liberal justices helped make the term "activist Warren Court" totemic for liberals and conservatives alike. The fear of a liberal court has changed the appointment process forever, Kalman argues. Drawing from sources in the Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton presidential libraries, as well as the justices' papers, she shows how the desire to avoid another Warren Court has politicized appointments by an order of magnitude. Among other things, presidents now almost never nominate politicians as Supreme Court justices (another response to Warren, who had been the governor of California). Sophisticated, lively, and attuned to the ironies of history, The Long Reach of the Sixties is essential reading for all students of the modern Court and U.S. political history.
