		<description><![CDATA[Reincarnation as this owl &#8212; that&#8217;s what I want. Not merely to flaunt my aerial adroitness, fierce gaze, and stunning plumage. I like the idea of staying up all night and hooting from trees. I found the video here via a journalist whose work I admire. But James Fallow&#8216;s likening of owls to cats with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, I was waiting in the hallway of a small Portland high school. I was there to interview students and a teacher for a story. As kids milled about in the din between classes, many hugged each other. Some embraces looked like reunions between dear friends who hadn&#8217;t seen each other for years. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope Roger Cohen of the New York Times wins a Pulitzer Prize for his remarkable commentary from the streets of Tehran. (He discusses the coverage here.) But world-stage politics aren&#8217;t his only topic. Yesterday&#8217;s gem, &#8220;The Meaning of Life,&#8221; uses a study of monkeys&#8217; caloric intake to explore universal themes. And his image of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seeing the world through the eyes of four year olds must be like looking through a peephole. This narrow, constrained view also bestows them with blissful ignorance. Take as evidence an exchange today involving our little boy and his friend: NPR, soundtrack of our life, blares in the kitchen. Michael Jackson&#8217;s name is mentioned, again.

		<description><![CDATA[Read the words. Listen to the words. Watch them sung. Then ask yourself what have &#8212; or did &#8212; we become? Ask why nearly every major news organization can&#8217;t bring itself to equate waterboarding with &#8220;torture&#8221; when, in fact, the United States executed World War II enemies for the same practice? Maybe Jonathan Mann&#8217;s song, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually wield no club in the intensifying mainstream media bashathon. But Todd Gitlin, whose journalism bona fides make his views worth a read, rightly hammers Big-Time Reporters&#8217; coverage of President Obama&#8217;s press conference last night. Petulance born of arrogance is especially repugnant when it leads to stories focusing on style at the expense of [...]]]></description>

These criteria aren&#8217;t my idea of manliness. The Portland Business Journal reports that &#8220;cities scored higher based on the number of sports teams they have, the number [...]]]></description>

His &#8220;No Comment&#8221; blog for Harper&#8217;s Magazine illuminates current affairs not with polemics but cohesive facts and analysis. Reading his work I see the fog of he-said-she-said media coverage lift to reveal what looks like truth. Yes, the fluid and passionate [...]]]></description>
