James Meek | LRB | 22 November 2011

Notebook from a country unravelling. Only businesses thriving are pawn shops
  and precious metal buyers. Economy is reverting to the 1950s. Get food from
  relatives in the countryside, money from relatives aboard [6]Comments

Kevin Kelleher | Reuters | 22 November 2011

800 million users. An IPO looming. Even a Facebook phone is rumoured. But it
  has a problem too: It's ruining sharing. "Simply put, Facebook is making the
  quantity of content more important than the quality." It may be a cardinal
  sin [8]Comments

Robert Butler | Intelligent Life | 21 November 2011

Every big scientific moment is also a cultural one. Galileo's universe. The
  Lisbon earthquake. Darwin's evolution. In our time, the revolution is in
  climate science. Finest artistic product to date: Cormac McCarthy's "The
  Road" [10]Comments

Yannis Ioannides & Chris Pissarides | Greek Economists For Reform | 21
  November 2011

Interesting counterweight to arguments that Greece should default, leave
  euro, re-take control of own economy. In brief, reintroduced drachma could
  drop so much in value that benefits of default would evaporate [12]Comments

David Edmonds | Prospect | 16 November 2011

In the past even training was considered unsporting. Now Pistorius runs on
  blades, athletes use altitude tents, footballers wear high-tech boots. But
  deciding which technologies are legal opens a debate over metaphysics of
  sport [14]Comments

Andrew Ferguson | Weekly Standard | 21 November 2011

Revisiting George Harrison, 10 years after his death from cancer. A man of
  two halves. Good George was a modest fellow, devoted to spiritualism and
  Krishna. Bad George had an "heroic capacity for cocaine, brandy, and
  adultery" [16]Comments
