Some Sunday morning reading to share.
With the Tony Awards approaching and the welcome spate of plays on Broadway doing well and bucking the long trend of theme park musicals, the New York Times has two interesting pieces worth reading.
The first talks about acting within an ensemble and the actor’s place in the process. The second talks about the resurgence of the play vs the theme park musical we’ve been accustomed to. Maybe it was the economy, maybe not. But let’s hope it continues.
A Federal judge goes after the Car Warranty Robocallers. Why did this take so long?
George Will on greed. Cherry picking for the sake of his argument, he suggests that “perhaps it would be restful to give moral reasoning a rest and give economic reasoning a chance.” Makes me laugh.
Maureen Dowd comes back with a column I can read again, and changes here stance on letting the past be the past. She now thinks, due in part to Pelosi’s self-water boarding, that we should indeed continue torturing ourselves to get to the bottom of the torture mess.
Michael Parekh links to a good article on the Politics of Cap and Trade. Methinks we all need to get up to speed on this.
Jeff Jarvis almost goes Shakespearean in looking at some of the legal and legislative maneuvering that is going on to try and protect newspapers from the evils of the Internet and themselves.
