Psychological Profiling — The Quiet Ones

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

"It's always the quiet ones." The movie Minority Report makes for comparative commentary here. Originally published in the Gainesville Times, December 6, 1988, Prof. Taylor speaks to the notion of Pre-Crime and a police state where psychological profiling is a practice compelled on all citizens. Oh, and please excuse the typos. I think Dad’s editor…… Continue reading Psychological Profiling — The Quiet Ones

Crowley and his Tweets? Originally published in the Gainesville Times on September 27, 1988, Prof. Taylor examines the case of a young, sinister criminal called Francis "Two Gun" Crowley. You may glean a few takeaways from this story, but if there's any one in particular above the rest, it's that a little love often goes…… Continue reading Crowley and His Tweets

Behold, the Boston Strangler — one of America's most notorious serial killers, but first ... Wow! It has been a year since the last posting of Alex Taylor Tuesday.

Hypoglycemia: Not Quite a Candy Commercial

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 10:00:00 +0000

We'll get to the effects of hypoglycemia in a moment. Before anyone mentions it, YES, I skipped a week. The explanation is that Prof. Taylor's column for May 24, 1988 is a Memorial Day piece, and felt out of place given the timing. It has been pushed back to coincide with this year's Memorial Day.…… Continue reading Hypoglycemia: Not Quite a Candy Commercial

Angels in Black

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 10:00:00 +0000

Angels in Black? Cue "Evil Woman" by ELO. It never fails to amuse me when I encounter obvious gender stereotyping. Hollywood has been at it for over a century now. To them, beautiful people are faultless, and ugly people usually do ugly things. This is why society generally gives gorgeous females a free pass, so…… Continue reading Angels in Black

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 11:00:00 +0000

Prof. Alex Taylor continues the Elizabeth Short, Black Dahlia murder mystery with a clarification to NBC's fictional take, which ran two weeks earlier. 30 years ago, the case was never solved and still open. Take it from an official source — the FBI. Of course, this hasn't stopped others from "closing" it, even as recently…… Continue reading The Elizabeth Short of It – Black Dahlia Part II
