Bazooka tooth

Nick Kristof's articles from Cambodia (for the New York Times) are quite thought-provoking. The first (from January 14) is on sweatshops, while the second (from January 17) is on the slave trade. I'd recommend reading Brooks, too, but then, I'd always recommend reading Brooks.

When I get a job, I am getting the New York Times delivered to my door. That's how I'll know I've made it, when I can afford to have them send that beacon of journalistic quality (and I think that, despite some recent problems, its undisputable that the Times still sets the standard for daily journalism in America, if not the world) to my front stoop (here in suburban paradise) every day. When I can afford to have some poor newspaper deliveryman drive all the way from Atlanta with my copy of the freshly printed Times at four a.m. so that I can read it from six-fifteen to seven over a bagel. That's having it made. (And we all know how important having it made is.)
