It's a couple of issues old, but I liked the police dog story. Still, it seemed incomplete. I really wanted them to address the grieving process when dogs are killed in action, given all the allusions to dogs dying throughout the piece.

Yeah, I was waiting for the same thing actually, seemed like it was going to address that at some point but then it just tailed off after the visit to one of the competitions.

also it did a really poor job delineating the diferences between the new school and old school dog training approaches

'tailed off' ha

Well, fwiw, I think the author spent too much time barking up the wrong tree. He could've really made his mark by following up on the grieving process. I bet some of those guys wept like fire hydrants. Oh well, he'll have a new tale to wag another day.

best thing this week was the piece about lawrence v. texas and the supreme court overturning anti-sodomy laws

All of you otm, except lagoon (it sort of implies a mix of the negative reinforcement with the positive, no?). The article really emphasizes the police-dog-as-tool, which makes the end kind of poignant.

lol if it did a good job of explaining that stuff why r u all uh it sort of implied this vague thing i dont really understand right

wow, talk about breaking house style:

Whatever motivated the makers of the video—and since it was posted there have been questions about the actual effectiveness and philosophy of the non-profit group that produced it—Kony is a monster who should have been shot in a vacant lot years ago.

finally read the tyler clementi piece. really remarkable reporting imo, admirably even-handed given the subject at hand.

i don't think my 2/13-2/20 issue was delivered?? >:(

you mean this week's? I haven't gotten it.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 11 March 2012 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
no the double issue 3 weeks ago, the one with the face transplant article and the plagiarism article, i think. (i finally have some free time and am working my way through about a month's worth of issues)

my mailman is getting learned sitting on my pile of recent nyers. i got the double & have missed a couple either side of it. face transplant article good. i can't remember whether i mentioned it, but yeti publishing becomes relevant in the plagiarism piece, interestingly.

the article on rich people avoiding taxes this week was kind of fascinating in a very mundane way ... and thomas puccio, the lawyer who is a central figure in the article, just died on mondayhttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/nyregion/thomas-puccio-lawyer-who-had-notorious-clients-dies-at-67.html?_r=1

I really like Donald Antrim but I didn't quite *get* the story in last week's issue. I mean parts of it were very good and very well-observed, but it left me shrugging.

this is a couple weeks old, but i didn't get the doggy santorum issue . . .
so viktor bout. probably a bad guy, certainly a thoroughly amoral one, but . . . dude never set foot in the usa, did not ship or sell anything to the usa. how is he guilty of crimes in the usa?
(i realize that current policy is that the federal govt can do whatever it wants to anyone, i'm just asking. also it sounded like his lawyer was in way over his head.)

Damn, the piece on Turkey has some serious juice. (Last week's issue).
Also, my wife Karen is on page 68 of the one that just hit the stands ~proud~

Congrats! Nice take on The Good Wife too, incl subplots getting close to traffic jam.
― dow, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
That was the March 5th issue; checking back, I see Nussbaum's written about The Good Wife several places.
― dow, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 01:05 (twelve years ago) link
yea mookie, i wouldve liked the vik bout article to talk more or at least some abt that aspect; just from looking @ wiki, the link i guess is conspiracy to commit crimes against us forces, supporting terrorism etc

Jack Handey humor piece was solid. For some reason I could not read the line "The say that he was buried in the Caucasus, among the crocuses" outloud without dying.
― the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
see, i didn't even come close to smirking, and i love jack handy. for me, that proved conclusively that it's impossible to be funny in Shouts & Murmurs

I just finished it. I liked the conclusion: billionaires in Romney's line of work aren't trained to improvise or rely on instinct.

yeah i thought that was a good insight too

Tax dodgers in New York piece was very entertaining.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 March 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. the guardian did a survey thing with a lot of wall street figures, eliciting the kind of quotes you'd imagine they would give; how could i live on a five figure salary or whatever. & the super rich thing was really intriguing, i wanted to know how they justified it. the coda about their donation was weirdly damning, i thought.

Maybe this should go on ILM, but the article on Rihanna's songwriting team is pretty interesting:
