Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
History.
In sober economic news, this crisis is global and we need to confront it as such, and The Financial Times proposes four fixes. Counterpunch wonders if an aggregator bank solve part of it, and could there be a trillion dollars being held by corporations outside of America? MSNBC reports on banks skirting their charters and Salon says it's time for an economic bill of rights.
In science! news, Texas is America's largest buyer of textbooks, so this "debate" over evolution is serious. And, the New Scientist reports on possible proof of another universe.
It's also come to light that NOT prosecuting Bush and Cheney for war crimes is in itself a violation of U.S. law.
Finally, The Nation reports that there's a foreclosure fightback a goin' on.
