In addition to continuing to post my interviews, today I begin a new feature on this site. During the course of each day, both in preparation for my interviews and in preparation for my afternoon show on KVON, I have the opportunity to read significant amounts of material: Newspapers, blogs, trade publications and links of some of the best and the brightest. I've always felt that I should, at the very least, share some of this with you. So beginning today, I will post a once daily list of some of what I think are the more interesting and informative pieces I've read and would like to pass one. I hope you enjoy these and I would of course love to have your feedback.
To begin, let me highlight the following from last week:
- Steven Pearlstein writing in the Washington Post about why the "public option" is not that big a deal.
- Christopher Hitchens, he of often great cynicism, taking a look at the pain of Elizabeth Edwards in the ATLANTIC.
- A look at how cities may represent the new American Dream.
- A look at EveryBlock, a new Hyperlocal website acquired by MSNBC.
- Simon Johnson of MIT's Sloan School looks at how the recession may be creating greater income inequality.
- Nate Silver at 538 looks to see if the health care protests are working.
- Finally,if you haven't yet seen it, the trailer for the upcoming film AVATAR.
