NYT and ACORN
Ann Althouse: Is it wrong for me to wait too long before writing about what the NYT public editor has written about why the NYT took so long to write about the ACORN story? Somehow I, a lone blogger, feel that it is wrong for me to wait, so how absurd it feels to me that the Times, with all its resources, waited as long as it did. You can read what the public editor, Clark Hoyt, has to say on the subject here.The rigors of life unplugged

Re-emerging As an Emerging Market By Desmond Lachman (Washington Post) Back in the spring of 1998, when Boris Yeltsin was still at Russia's helm, I led a group of global investors to Moscow to find out firsthand where the Russian economy was headed.

raise a "wild child"
Raise children with a wild streak Many `ideal' students lack inventive, restless and self-reliant spirit MARK PRUETT Special to the Observer A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics stresses the importance of childhood playtime. It reinforces my own belief that many young adults have been cheated by years of excessive schoolwork and teamwork, too many extracurricular activities, and a straitjacketed "just say no to anything risky" upbringing. I am convinced that modern childhood generally does not build enough independence and thirst for knowledge.
