Article of the Week: McCain is no (Teddy) Roosevelt.
by Waylon Lewis on Aug 19, 2008
If only wishing made it so. Teddy: icon of the Right, beloved by the Left, a celebrity, trust-buster, war hero, our first great environmentalist…a Republican, a progressive who bolted his own party, member of the Mt. Rushmore Club…and oft-mentioned idol of Senator McCain, the erstwhile Modern Maverick.

Mao, Stalin, Hitler: they’re back in style. [NYT]
by Waylon Lewis on Aug 16, 2008
With Russia strolling about Georgia, Zimbabwe going nuts, Bush detaining POWs off our territory so they won’t be allowed basic America rights to trial, and China celebrating repression, censorship and genocide with the world’s cheery cooperation, it’s safe to say (at least here in the US, where freedom of the press has survived eight years [...]

by Waylon Lewis on Aug 8, 2008

Excerpt: Tibet is one of the major shadows over the Olympics and over China’s rise as a great power, sullying its international image and triggering unrest that is likely to worsen in coming years.

Next on My Reading List: “Bottlemania”
by Lindsey Wolf on Aug 7, 2008
I saw a copy of Elizabeth Royte’s new book “Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It” last night at the Strand. It reminded me of when I first became more aware of the water bottling process through reading an article that E Magazine published in 2003. I quoted a fact from [...]

by Waylon Lewis on Jul 28, 2008

Batman’s Dark Night: We’re not the only ones to make lotsa tpyos.
by Waylon Lewis on Jul 24, 2008
For years, our anemic editorial department (read: me) let lots of typos slip past our glazed over eyes. So I was surprised to see my favorite paper/web site do the same. And kinda heartened: we’re all human, even the Mihgty New York Times.

Best article I’ve read this month: Michael Pollan, Sunday NY Times.
