- The G-8 and Psychic Numbing July 9, 2009
  My Thursday column looks at the Group of 8, its failure to meet its aid pledges made in 2005 at Gleneagles, Scotland, and the reasons why we tend not to want to help people a long way away. First, I should point out that the G8 claims it will indeed meet its pledges by 2010. [...]

- In Which I Apologize to Roald Dahl.... July 7, 2009
  Whew! I was taken aback by the reaction to my Sunday column of the Best Kids' Books - Ever. I'd never had a column achieve 1,000 comments, and that one has topped 2,350. (Worse, normally I divide comment moderation with my assistant, Natasha Yefimov. But Natasha was away for the weekend, so I spent [...]

- Reader Suggestions for the Best Kids' Books July 5, 2009
  My Sunday column offers my own list of the best children's books ever, as an inducement to summer reading - and summer reading aloud. If I had had a bit more space, I would have offered a couple more: Winnie the Pooh (the chapter of Piglet trapped in the flood is my favorite); the A [...]

- For July 4, Fix the Jefferson Memorial! July 4, 2009
  For July 4, here's a suggestion for a teensy-weensy bit of stimulus money: Correct the misquotations in the Jefferson Memorial. My eighth-grade teacher, Mr. Conover, made us all memorize a chunk of the Declaration of Independence, so I was horrified when - years later - I visited the Jefferson Memorial and saw the Declaration carved on [...]

- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and War Crimes?! July 3, 2009
  Anybody know what on earth is happening in Liberia? The Truth and Reconciliation Commission there listed President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as one of 52 people who should be sanctioned for committing war crimes; the implication is that she would be barred from public office. I have great respect for President Johnson Sirleaf and have no [...]

- When Our Brains Misjudge Risk July 2, 2009
  My Thursday column was inspired by watching three things: First, Congress vastly overblow the risk that Guantanamo detainees would cause problems if transferred to penitentiaries on American soil; Second, the vast underestimate of the costs of allowing our dysfunctional health system to stagger on uncorrected; Third, the underestimate of the risks of carbon […]

- NYT Magazine Issue on Women June 30, 2009
  The New York Times Sunday Magazine is going to have a special issue on Aug. 23 devoted to women in the developing world. This is the first time the magazine has done something quite like this, and we're all excited here. The lead article will be an excerpt from "Half the Sky," the book that [...]

- Pssst! The Secrets of Journalism! June 29, 2009
  Youtube is starting a Reporter's Center, for which I've revealed all of journalism's secrets - which boils down to how to cover a crisis and not get shot. The center goes live in the wee hours Monday morning, and I'm looking forward to seeing what colleagues in the news biz have done for it. You [...]

- Your Comments on Endocrine Disruptors June 28, 2009
  My Sunday column is unusual and has been in gestation for a couple of months, and frankly the research has been scary. We don't know for sure that these chemicals are harmful, but the evidence is mounting. I only wish I had more space than the 750 words that the column allows. I became interested [...]

If gay people were in charge of FEMA; all of those people in New Orleans would not only have bottled water, but they'd also have sun-screen and ponchos in three different colors!
