Authority: 137
There are around 120 heads of government at the Copenhagen climate talks, so many that it’s hard to keep track of the exact number.

Ohaiyo Business Magazine —
Authority: 137
The issues are global and urgent, but the bureaucracy can sometimes be mind-bogglingly slow and petty.

Though I scoured the dozens of reports on David Fricke’s NYPL talk last week with the surviving members of my favorite Velvet Underground lineup (Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker, and Doug Yule) for a jarring bit or two about the legendary group, it sounded like a fairly uneventful event—save for Lou Reed’s apparent ...1 week ago
