Nin-Hai Tseng | Fortune | 18 March 2011
"Boombustologist" Mansharmani lists five early warning signs of impending
bubbles. Includes Sotheby's common stock price alongside construction of

"bubbling" now

Neil Tweedie | Telegraph | 18 March 2011
Seemingly incredible story of Denis Avey, who risked life and limb breaking
into Nazi concentration camp. Succeeded in 1944, driven on by desire to act

George Parker | FT Magazine | 18 March 2011
Superb profile of UK's enigmatic chancellor of the exchequer. On how he has

Austin Murphy | Sports Illustrated | 16 March 2011
Enjoyable profile of Bubba Watson, big-hitting golfer from Bagdad, Florida.
He's never had a golf lesson, has a corkscrewing swing that takes him off
his feet, and plays with a smile on his face (now). Golf needs characters
like him

Pamela Paul | NYT | 18 March 2011
Our attitude to telephone conversations has changed. Email, text and social
media make calls seem intrusive and awkward. Overall volume of voice calls
in sharp decline. Is early telephonic etiquette making a silent return?

Jonah Lehrer | WSJ | 19 March 2011
Want to be a better investor? Think like a fish. Networked, synchronous
behaviour dramatically increases investment success and returns. Idea that
certain traders have "some uncanny ability to decipher the market" looks
outdated
