1. "The Neverending Nightmare of Amanda Knox," a 2011 article from Rolling Stone with a prescient headline.


2. A Joan Didion essay from 1979 on Woody Allen. "The characters in these pictures are, at best, trying. They are morose. They have bad manners."

3. Audio from a 1968 interview with John Lennon, who invited a college student to his house and vented on politics and music.

4. A new short story by Zadie Smith, from The New Yorker. 

5. A great report on the shady side of the Internet by Portland writer Taylor Clark, from The Atlantic Monthly. "Willms’s enterprise, the FTC’s investigation suggested, was less a product-delivery business than a highly sophisticated mechanism for gathering credit-card numbers."
