Jonathan Taplin digs into some peculiar military spending and Todd Gitlin takes a rummage through American history.
At the Book Club, Bill Bishop explores the strong link between lifestyle and political choice while Walker Smith takes a step back: What does relationship mean?

I for one would get fully behind any website editors who might be interested trying to paint some prettier alternative pictures. :-) Might not be as Sisyphusean as it looks at first, you never know what the fates have in store as to trends. There's a popular theme in literature and movies, I'm sure you know it--the outsiders come to a small town and end up changing it forever; I should add that the change is not that it becomes a big town.
