  The Inverse Square Blog — Authority: 462
  In the spirt of both Fridays and ends-of-term, this: ( via Fallows , last summer.) (So I’m a little slow.) (Sue me.) The scariest thing about this short?  It proves what was long suspected: There is only one thriller in the universe; Michael Mann is a construct processing its variations.

• Obama Mentions ‘War’ 44 Times In Nobel Peace Prize Speech

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 774
  It’s hard to imagine worse timing. President Obama flew to Norway today ( according to Mark Knoller he is only the second president to do so) to accept his Nobel Peace Prize, nine days after announcing to the nation that he was sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. Has there ever been a more ...

• The NYT and WaPo bet their reputations on contrasting approaches to climate emails.

  
  2parse — Authority: 129
  James Fallows : Not to overdramatize, but: in a way the papers are betting their reputations with these articles. The Times, that climate change is simply a matter of science versus ignorance; the Post, that this is best treated as another “-Gate” style flap where it’s hard to get to the bottom of the story.

• Two out of three isnt bad.

  
  Upper Left — Authority: 434
  James Fallows is mostly right... "The former vice president, Dick Cheney, has brought dishonor to himself, his office, and his country." To his (thankfully former) office and his country, no doubt. To himself? That presumes he had any honor to dis in the first place, a presumption that goes, I think, a field too ...

• On trusting Obama: the Af/Pak review

  
  xpostfactoid — Authority: 426
  A friend who has read my posts on Afghanistan challenged me yesterday: "So what should we do ?  I dont want to just read your presentations of what other people think. Take a position." I responded that in this blog I try to remain conscious of my limitations. I am obviously no expert either on Afghanistan or on ...

• Why Didnt Obama Push Harder on TV Coverage in Shanghai?

  
  The New Republic - the stash Feed — Authority: 132
  Last week I criticized the White House for backing down when the Chinese insisted on limiting coverage of Obamas townhall meeting in Shanghai. I still think the Chinese were bluffing, and that their bluff could have been called without any fallout. But James Fallows actually raised the issue  in a conversation ...

• Excuses, Excuses

  
  Hendrik Hertzberg — Authority: 117
  I’ve been on my book tour and Sarah Palin’s been on hers. She has a bus and I don’t, so it’s been all I can do to keep up with her for the last couple of weeks, on top of doing some heavy thinking about Afghanistan. Hence the voluminous nonblogging. Book touring has entailed lots of interviews and ...

• Did U.S. media miss the boat on Obama’s trip?

  
  Orange Punch — Authority: 142
  James Fallows, an old journalistic hand now living in Tokyo and blogging for the Atlantic, thinks the U.S. media that proclaimed Obama’s recent Asian trip a rank failure because of not getting concrete agreements and concessions from various Asian c0untries got it pretty wrong . Although Fallows is usually worth ...

• Water on a Stone: Fallows relays an insiders view of Obamas Chinese conversations

  
  xpostfactoid — Authority: 426
  James Fallows has been pushing back in multiple posts against the shallow horse-race coverage of Obamas China trip. The centerpiece is his relay of an anonymous insiders view of what Obamas meetings with Chinese leadership did and did not accomplish, offered here and here . This account is nuanced and neutral ...

• I’ll Second That

  
  Get the Flick — Authority: 427
  I’m just echoing James Fallows’ advice to go read this piece by Elliot Gerson. From Oxford to Wall Street ”For more than a century Rhodes scholars have left Oxford with virtually any job available to them. For much of this time, they have overwhelmingly chosen paths in scholarship, teaching, writing, ...
