In Which my Grandchildren Call Me a Ruthless Murderer - It was the briefest of observations, an exchange that lasted no more than two seconds, and yet it has stayed with me ever since.

There are velvet revolution training courses? Now there's an upcoming Harper's article if I've ever heard one. [via Cyrus]
$400k in school debt! I am so glad that I didn't go to law school. And so glad that I have no debt.
"Indeed, this may be the most profound lesson we can derive from our bachelor founders. Although they envisioned a nation built on morals and families, the men who declared independence dreamed of a country where the intimate details of one’s life did not matter to citizenship."

Great feature by Glenna about Cora Taylor, a Liberian who lived in the US for 20 years and moved back to Monrovia where she now works for the gov't and spends her free time making clothes for African barbie-like dolls. (which she buys from Japan for $1).
"Professor Gilbert argues that the threats that get our attention tend to have four features. First, they are personalized and intentional.

While on the lookout for official visitors, Apple said he saw “a young woman of a Hollywood nature” heading for the presidential suite. He quickly called his editor, who informed him “I was there to report the comings and goings of statesmen, not starlets.”"

Thanks for the advice. I used Garage Band to add the music track.
its lovely!
