      5. http://b.rw/uoxZ4f

George Packer | New Yorker | 28 November 2011

Ray Kachel is a 53-year-old technology worker from Seattle. Or was. He's
  been out of work for some time, sold most of his remaining possessions, left
  his flat. Now he's in New York, part of the OWS protest. This is his story

Wolfgang Munchau | FT | 27 November 2011

Ten days, to be exact. Until summit on December 9. And it can only survive
  if governments make ECB lender of last resort, issue eurobonds, and create
  fiscal union. Which they won't. So that's about it for the single currency

[9]Are We The Teachable Species?
    Links:
      9. http://b.rw/sPAbbI

Carl Zimmer | The Loom | 22 November 2011

"There’s no culture on Earth without teachers. But just because something’s
  easy doesn’t mean it’s not special. And in the animal kingdom, teaching is
  exceedingly rare. In fact, it’s not clear whether any other animal can
  teach" [10]Comments

[11]How Brooklyn Got Its Groove Back

Kay Hymowitz | City Journal | 27 November 2011

"How did the mean streets once paced by Irish and Italian dockworkers, and
  later scarred by muggings and shootings, become so cool? The answer involves
  economic, class, and cultural changes that have transformed American urban
  life" [12]Comments

[13]Siege Of Leningrad 60 Years On
    Links:
      13. http://b.rw/ufp4Pk

Anna Reid | Open Democracy | 26 November 2011

Hitler decided to starve the city out. Almost succeeded. 750,000 civilians
  died of hunger and disease. Greatest loss of life in any modern city.
  Tragedy minimised, sanitised by Soviets, embarrassed that Germans had got so
  far [14]Comments

[15]Her Honor

      15. http://b.rw/vRXxxo

Dahlia Lithwick | New York | 27 November 2011

Excellent, sympathetic profile of Elena Kagan, a year and a bit into her job
  as US Supreme Court justice. She's a listener; a liberal, yes; has a finely
  tuned social sense. But nothing kneejerk about her. She maddens liberals too

The history professor tells us why it’s less interesting to argue about
  whether Empire was a force for good or ill, than to understand how it worked
  and why it fell apart. He suggests a reading list to get us started [18]Read
