"On the Same Page, Too" -- Bulletin Blog Addition

In the interest of continuing to offer readings to our community of writers, Kimiko is inaugurating this addition to our Bulletin Blog: she and other faculty will post online articles. Some will be on topics related to writings, some of general interest to citizens of this planet. In the spirit of "On the Same Page," we hope that these stimulate conversations and maybe even become part of one's own writing--directly or indirectly.

From THE NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY 'WEEK IN REVIEW'
Now Playing: Night of the Living Tech
By STEVE LOHR
Published: August 21, 2010
" ... An unscheduled call from people other than family members, they say, is often regarded as a rude intrusion. ... Broad swaths of the blogosphere lie fallow, abandoned. But again, this is a sign of adaptive behavior. ... Text is not going away, nor is reading. Paper is going away."

Crime (Sex) and Punishment (Stoning)
By ROBERT F. WORTH
Published: August 21, 2010
"It may be the oldest form of execution in the world, and it is certainly among the most barbaric. In the West, death by stoning is so remote from experience that it is best known through Monty Python skits and lurid fiction like Shirley Jackson’s short story 'The Lottery.'”
