A collection of links to stories in this week’s Sunday New York Times. There’s a certain sense of deliciousness that following reading an actual newspaper, I’m now linking to stories contained therein.
Covering a news story from all angles is what makes newspaper reporting great.
There has to be a better way of handling this. Sure, certain cities need to be preserved but at what cost?
Looks like we’re heading for a second Cold War. Yay us.
Our president pens an op-ed on the election in Southern Sudan.
Logo design discussion for Mel.
What would the United States look like with a strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution? Of course we should strongly adhere to a terribly flawed document that holds archaic beliefs of government and shouldn’t think of drafting a new one. Although to be honest, I don’t think we could write a new one this day and age.
Reading about my ancestors in the paper is always strange. Also strange to think someone in my family actually impacted the world.
That’s enough for the “Week in Review” section.
The Book Review sucked, skip it.
I’m doing OK. Also, here’s my tip for the year (and this shouldn’t be construed as actual financial advice. Or good advice), get out of any gold investments you have this year. Glen Beck’s been pushing people to buy gold as a spokesman and during his “news” show (conflict of interest anyone?). Too many people are purchasing it. It will correct itself this year. Hard too.
Ranking the best classical composers is kind of a neat endeavor when real critics do it. Bold prediction: Bach and Mozart will be on that list. Also, Tommasini asks what made Vienna (the Austrian town, not the Georgia one) such a breeding ground for musical genius. I could be flippant and say it was the devout Catholicism but I won’t.
Haven’t read the Magazine yet, someone tell me if it is any good.
