Miscellanea

Some good articles I read over the summer but never got around to mentioning in a post. To highlight: I found the article on Zarqawi and "Racist Like Me" to be particularly good.

Articles:

• "Is there a Science Crisis? Maybe Not", from The Chronicle of Higher Education, 9 July


• "Afghan President Describes Militias as the Top Threat", from the New York Times, 12 July


• "Doubts on Informant Deleted in Senate Text", from the New York Times, 13 July


• "Zarqawi's Journey: From Dropout to Prisoner to an Insurgent Leader in Iraq", from the New York Times, 13 July


• "Early Steps, Maybe, Toward a Democracy in Iraq", from the New York Times, 27 July


• "Racist Like Me - Why am I the only honest bigot?", from Slate magazine, 11 August


• "U.S. Report Turns Focus to Greenhouse Gases", from the New York Times, 26 August


• "Afghan voting number puzzle", from BBC News, 27 August

Unfortunately, most of the articles from the New York Times website are now viewable in full only after paying a fee. (Of course, Lexis-Nexis is also an option for some people.)
