The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:

We start this week with a report stating the media is just along for the ride on the Bush legacy tour.

So, why is the prime minister of Israel giving our secretary of state orders? Glen Greenwald reports that terrorism IS Israel's strategy and Alternet reports they're enacting the holocaust on Palestine Defense Minister Vilnai promised. Our hands are not clean in this. TruthDig reports Israel is speaking the language of death.

In science! news, the top 11 compounds found in US drinking water, and New Scientist asks is our world a giant hologram?.

The Nation has a great story on the fight over antiquity, and The New Republic questions a misleading biography of Yehuda Amichai.

Finally this week, in economic news, the 401k experiment has failed, but, can labor help save the American dream? Jeffrey Sachs makes the case for bigger government and The Financial Times asks is Obama's plan still inadequate?
