A podcast about books, art & life — not necessarily in that order
Skip ahead if you’re sick of reading about the genocide in Darfur.
Samantha Power wrote a great piece in The New Yorker a few weeks ago about Darfur. Here it is. I didn’t link to it earlier because I couldn’t find any sort of searchable archives at the magazine’s site. Good job, Conde Nast!
Prof. Power also wrote a piece on Darfur in the new issue of Time. Read it.
I meant to ramble about this last week, when Drudge had an en fuego afternoon, posting links to the Cybill Shepard bad-hair day, the Iranian woman who asked a judge to make her husband only beat her once a week, and the guy who was clocked at 205 mph on his motorcycle.
Now CNN has followed up the story, replete with doubts that a motorcycle can reach 205. My favorite detail–even more than the “going a quarter-mile in 4.39 seconds” part–is that it all took place out on Highway 61.
