"SAM CHANG, the hotel king of New York, surveyed a portion of his domain from West 39th Street, a gritty block south of the Port Authority, from where he can see not one, not two, but a half-dozen of his hotel sites on a single block. “They ought to name this block for me,” he said." - Ginger Makela Riker from Bookmarklet

"Mainly, they know how to censor themselves. Once, I remember, an editorial group was discussing literary selections to include in a reading anthology. We were about to agree on one selection when someone mentioned that the author of this piece had drawn a protest at a Texas adoption because he had allegedly belonged to an organization called One World Council, rumored to be a "Communist front." At that moment, someone pointed out another story that fit our criteria. Without further conversation, we chose that one and moved on. Only in retrospect did I realize we had censored the first story based on rumors of allegations. Our unspoken thinking seemed to be, If even the most unlikely taint existed, the Gablers would find it, so why take a chance? Self-censorship like this goes unreported because we the censors hardly notice ourselves doing it. In that room, none of us said no to any story. We just converged around a different story. The dangerous author, incidentally, was celebrated best-selling science fiction writer Isaac Asimov." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Luis Carlos Montalvan got up from a chair in his small Brooklyn apartment and walked to the kitchen. Tuesday followed close behind, eyes fixed on a white cabinet. The retriever sat alertly as Mr. Montalvan, an Iraq war veteran with severe post-traumatic stress disorder, reached for a vial of pills, lined a half-dozen on the table and took them one by one. The dog had gotten what he wanted: When the last pill was swallowed, he got up and followed his master out of the kitchen, tail wagging. Tuesday is a so-called psychiatric-service dog, a new generation of animals trained to help people whose suffering is not physical, but emotional. They are, effectively, Seeing Eye dogs for the mind." - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet

I really like that they did the classic WSJ black and white head shot drawing of the dog. - Shannon Bauman

About point 2 - I think Aaron Sorkin (screenwriter, playwright) said the biggest thing he got out of the writing program in university was a chance to get out his worst work in relative seclusion. (I paraphrase.) - Andrew C (✓)

"I cannot stop clicking through Sushyue Liao's incredible collection of photographs. Of course his images of birds are a top favorite of mine, but Sushyue also takes other beutiful photos of the world around him (don't miss reading the sweet comments he writes under each of his photos... they just warm my heart to no end). His work is perfectly suited for Eearth Day, don't you think?" - edythe from Bookmarklet

"You may be most familiar with the rich, sweet iced Vietnamese coffee from your local Phở shop, but what makes Vietnamese coffee different from your local Starbucks? 1.It’s a drip filter. A metal coffee filter uses a screw-down mechanism to compresses the coffee grounds into a super-dense layer through which hot water is filtered. Because it takes at least five minutes (often longer) to drip through, the coffee is rich in flavor and essential oils. It’s also rich in caffeine!" - edythe from Bookmarklet

Vietnamese coffee is like crack. One you go there, you'll never go back. Same with Pho. - Carter ♥ HTML5

five minutes? well now i know why Starbucks doesn't offer a Vietnamese Coffee. - Karim

"It has been 46 years since Sylvia Plath gassed herself to death in her kitchen, and it was worldwide news when her daughter Frieda Hughes announced that Plath’s 47-year-old son, Nicholas Hughes, a fisheries biologist in Alaska, killed himself last week. Why, of all the stories of creative, brilliant people who have suffered from fatal depressions, does Plath’s tragic legacy resonate so widely? Here, Joyce Carol Oates, Peter D. Kramer, Erica Jong, Andrew Solomon and Elaine Showalter offer their thoughts." - edythe from Bookmarklet
