- We Make Money Not Art reports on the height of Dutch design - Amphibious houses "The Dutch are gearing up for climate change with amphibious houses. If rivers rise above their banks, the houses rise upwards as well"
- Malcolm Gladwell on selection policies for Harvard (much more interesting than it sounds, and weirdly much less judgmental than it could have been) "If Harvard had too many Asians, it wouldn’t be Harvard, just as Harvard wouldn’t be Harvard with too many Jews or pansies or parlor pinks or shy types or short people with big ears."
