Today's New York Times had a slew of good articles and opinions today. It kept me reading on the couch for hours. I subscribe Monday through Saturday. Sunday is generally too much paper for me to trudge through (and Saturday is a slow news day). But of course, it can have good feature articles, and after today I'm reconsidering. Here's a rundown on today's interesting reads:
An extensive article on Bruce Ivins, the military microbiology researcher who was the FBI's chief suspect in the anthrax investigation before Ivins committed suicide.
An article on the beginning of Israel's invasion of Gaza. This whole bombing and now invasion has been brutal and disproportionate. Of course, the Bush-led US stands by doing nothing and basically condones Israel's actions. And the rest of the world is basically impotent to do anything. The result of it all will just be more anger at Israel and America, and probably more terrorism.
An analysis of what is it that Israel's trying to do.
Frank Rich's op-ed on Bush's narcissism.
A long op-ed on how Wall Street got into its mess by Michael Lewis and David Einhorn.
An interesting article on the Irish economy's rise and fall.
And I was just too worn out to read another article on today's financial mess, but this was probably a good one, by Joe Nocera.
