He also is the U.S. economic and political columnist for The Sunday Times (London) and The Courier Mail (Brisbane, Australia), a contributing editor of The Weekly Standard, a member of the Publication Committee of The Public Interest, and a member of the board of the Regulatory Policy Institute (Oxford)," a biographical note states."[1]
