NYC Mayor Bloomberg Talks Gay Marriage →
Mayor Bloomberg just gave an fantastic speech on marriage in NY: “When I meet a New Yorker who is gay, when I speak with friends and members of my staff who are gay, or when I look into the eyes of my niece, Rachel, I cannot tell them that their government is correct in denying them the right to marry.

Learning became her. She loved the smell of the books from the shelves, the type...

James Frey: The Truth Set Me Free →
James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces (a book I’ve learned was never submitted to the publishers as a memoir) speaks out:
“I was written off by the publishing and by the literary community and instead of being upset about it, I was excited. I had to work within their system, I wrote a book that wasn’t what it was published as; I always knew I wasn’t born to work...
