James Crowley’s arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.
- Cato Daily Podcast: “[Chick-Fil‑A Fracas](https://www.cato.org/multimedia/daily-podcast/chick-fil-fracas),” July 31, 2012. “Is the speech of a corporate CEO grounds for punishing the company with delayed or denied permits they otherwise would’ve gotten? Cato Institute’s Senior Fellow Tom Palmer says no; he argues that the politicians threatening Chic-Fil‑A should retract what they’ve said and apologize for threatening the company.”
