[2]Art Of The Interview
Sarah Fay I The Believer I June
Conversation with, and sympathetic profile of, radio host Michael
Silverblatt, interviewer of literary greats. "My advice to you: sit forward,

question"
[3]My Once-In-A-Generation Cut
Simon Jenkins I The Guardian I 8 June 2010

[4]A Bad Reputation
Mike Berners-Lee I BBC Magazine I 8 June 2010
Idiosyncratic, sometimes surprising, advice on greener living. When you walk

Kathryn Schulz I NY Times I 8 June 2010

they do? Should we insist that people acknowledge their mistakes if we
intend to shower them with moral outrage?
