Within the past month, The New Yorker and Harper’s have looked at suggested reading lists crafted by the military and US government more generally. Both articles are worth at least skimming, and a proper analysis of the lists is definitely due if it has not been done thus far (Google did not yield any dissertations or books after some quick and basic searches). Interesting stuff.

Things I Learned This Week
Among the things I learned this week:
* Little J.B., a singer who I love from and tried to find more of based on his performance from Super Bad @ 65: A Tribute To James Brown, is Lee Fields (whom I have a few albums). (Courtesy: The New Yorker)
* Stops don’t make sense with country-wide ETFs for anything but day trading because of what it would take for a major price change. (Courtesy: YM)
* The Apollo is a lot smaller than I expected, and seventeen year olds can rock the house. (Courtesy: Wycliffe Gordon’s Jazz A La Carte)
* There is another type of gin, and it is fantastic. (Courtesy: ZS, JSK, and NYC)
* Not enough parents teach their children, some of whom are grown, how to enjoy a meal. (YM’s A and MS’ N)
* Myrna Loy modeled for Gil Elvgren. (Courtesy: Martignette and Meisel)
