Demography as Destiny?

THERE ARE SOME EXPERTS you treasure: Charlie Cook and Michael Barone on elections, Peter Gammons on baseball, People magazine on the best and worst dressed celebrities. For me, William H. Frey belongs on that list.

Frey is a demographer and research scientist at the University of Michigan’s Population Studies Center, who studies how population is shifting within the United States. As the results from the 2000 census have come in, Frey has produced a series of authoritative, provocative, and eye-opening essays on how America is changing. Much of his material is available on his website.
