Password Forgot? Without any hint of irony, the magazine this week urged readers to commit crimes with a story titled "How to Topple a Statue Using Science. The story appeared as angry mobs nationwide vandalize statues that commemorate Civil War generals, Founding Fathers and even abolitionists.
That's fine if people want those statues removed, but it should be done through referendums or other legal measures that don't sacrifice civility.
Instead, Popular Mechanics breezily offers its version of "The Anarchist Cookbook," the infamous manual for violent civil disobedience that included recipes for bombs, weapons and drugs. It goes on to provide a boring description about the mechanics of toppling a statue by brute force or with chemicals. It was written by James Stout, whose biography describes him as a historian of anti-fascism in sport with a Ph. It once published an article about a Philadelphia physician who supposedly used X-rays to turn blacks into whites : probably not a great editorial decision.
Betting on blimps over planes for so long might not have been advisable, and hyping excessive consumption during the birth of the environmental movement in the s also rates a demerit. But beyond those probable transgressions, Popular Mechanics paved the way for the people's incursion into science's once-exclusive domain.
Its longevity argues that science and its sometimes inscrutable possibility have raw mass appeal — even if the subject is cars with steering wheels in the back seat or self-diagnosing appliances.
Like comrades Popular Science, Wired and others, it has charted the rise of technology with geek zeal. And its mechanics still seem to be working just fine.
