Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
This week, Alternet asks: are students the new indentured servants?
Also, Iraq's human toll. And when did we stop caring about civilian deaths in wartime?
Salon has a great article on how Republicans created the myth of Ronald Reagan, and The Nation explains why we should have listened to Paul Krugman years ago. People are finally rebelling against free-market insanity.
The rider paradox: a surge in mass-transit ridership while most agencies are cutting service.
Finally this week, Stephen Chu warns that California's farms and vineyards are in danger.
