Just a really great piece from the New York Times (yes, I said it!). I’m not a yard sale person, but I would totally attend this yard sale. What is great about the writing, above all, is that there is nothing contemptuous about the tone. One might expect a paper such as the NYT to take such an attitude, but thankfully, they saw a refreshing wonderful story and went with it. And while I’m at it, also from the NYT, a really fascinating look at Israel’s 21st century Trojan Horse, those grim beepers they used to take out a good percentage of Hezbollah’s, er, “staff.” (Yes, both of these features are from a few weeks ago – one gets distracted.)
