7. At previous junctures of American history, third-party movements were able to intrude upon established parties to shift national politics in a fundamental way. The Republican Party arose in the 1850s to defeat the Whigs and lead the nation through the Civil War and the end of slavery. The Populist Party arose in the 1880s to demand significant reforms to public administration, the direct election of senators, women’s suffrage, and the control of giant industrial trusts. The Populist platform, though never dominant electorally, led the way to the Progressive Era, including the reformist presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

8. Donald Pfaff, The Neuroscience of Fair Play: Why We (Usually) Follow the Golden Rule (New York: Dana Press, 2007). In one of the most fascinating areas of recent scientific advance, neurobiologists have begun to unravel the basic neural and chemical pathways of conflict and cooperation. The Golden Rule and nurturing behavior more generally, speculates neuroscientist Donald Pfaff, emerged from a mother’s behavior toward her offspring, involving the hormones estrogen, cortisol, prolactin, and oxytocin. On the other hand, aggression seems to be related mostly to male behavior rooted in protecting the offspring and defending territory. These behaviors are mediated by hormonal and brain systems that involve testosterone, vasopressin, and serotonin, among other regulators.
