A few offerings today from Slate:
:: This article on the worst nightmare that can befall a cat person: the acquisition of a dog.
:: This interesting analysis of the term “homeland”, which found its way into the American lexicon almost instantly following 9-11-01.
:: An obituary for Lew Wasserman, once head of Universal Studios, that is refreshing in that it blames someone other than George Lucas for the rise of the Hollywood blockbuster.
