Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
This week brought us the origin of the crossword puzzle AND the man who made the Thesaurus!
Salon tell us how how The Slaughter-House Five was born. The Financial Times Of London asks if there's a generational literacy shift, The Nation remembers the five year anniversary of U.S. soldiers watching the Iraq National Library sacked and we're left wondering, did the Sixties achieve nothing?
In environmental news this week, we're posed wit the question: could we meet our energy demand with solar panels along? Alternet says those who control oil and water control the world, and the case of Nestle v. Florida over water rights illustrates the point. Common Dreams addresses the global grain problem, plus truckers put on the brakes to protest gas prices, and The American Prospect says No art for oil!
In economics, big brokers blew it and should bear the cost, we've had three straight months of job loss, the cost of the Iraq occupation may STILL be understated and US business regulation needs more than just tuning.
This week in Science! news, Texans built the world's most powerful laser, a new super quasar has been discovered and finally, Biomimetics: the science and art of looking at nature for design inspiration.
