8/14 kunkel on beckett, lemann on blogs
And, when the time comes, I hope you'll digest the August 14th issue as well. Let me know what's worth reading, what's worth skimming and what's worth leaving to rest on the coffee table. Comments, please!
UPDATE: I've added a few words on Benjamin Kunkel and Lemann in the comments. I do like that Kunkel says of Beckett, "It didn't hurt that he took a good picture." (85)

Actually the 8/7 issue is also the 8/14 issue. But perhaps this space will be used for some other discussion topic. Not that I can think of one...
When I updated (back in July, to find the Wilson Denby letter), I just downloaded the issues - with no DVD - and it WAS free. But I guess I didn't get any upgrades and improvements. Just more issues.
Despite all my frustrations with the DVD I have begun to really appreciate it . . . I just spent a week organizing a friend's collection of 6 years worth of Vogue, W, Bazaar and Details . . .
Now that I've read more of the issue I like Lemann on internet journalism; I especially liked that bit about Jay Rosen wanted one of the news orgs to take a position of open opposition . . .
But I was disappointed by Kunkel on Beckett; especially the part about "when I was backpacking in Kathmandu" . . . I like the recurring column though, old books.
ps. to the wicked grammarians: why is "citizen" in quotation marks in the next to last paragraph in the lemann thing? Are they not really citizens?
