New York Times, Online Bullies Pull Schools into the Fray. I am so glad right now that Facebook and cellphones didn't really arrive for me until University.
Wired, Sergey Brin's Search for a Parkinson's Cure. Touches close to home, and interesting from a computer science point of view.Rolling Stone, The Runaway General. The article that brought down the U.S. General commanding all forces in Afghanistan.
Wired, The Secret of AA. Fascinating read - and for me, a first in-depth introduction to Alcoholics Anonymous.

I've recently found a website which aggregates long-form journalism: http://longform.org/. As so much of what I read is bite-size, it's nice to have a quiet and reflective read now and then. Check it out!
Bonus urban studies reading:
ReplyDeleteThe Wilson Quarterly, The Traffic Guru.
"As motorization levels soared, ...the urban street was redefined from a place with various uses to a channel for moving the most vehicular traffic as quickly as possible." This article is about a Dutch traffic engineer's efforts to reverse that process, and move traffic interactions in towns and cities back into the world of social behaviour.
