Drew Westen | NYT | 6 August 2011

Americans need their president to be a storyteller – to make sense of what
  they're going through, understand what caused it, how it will end. Obama's
  failure here is profound. Its effect even threatening to American democracy

Amanda Gefter | New Scientist | 8 August 2011

Fascinating introduction to new theory of reality proposed by Canadian
  physicists. Could lead to unification of general relativity and quantum
  mechanics. This is Phase Space, a curious eight-dimensional world

Simon Kuper | Slate/FT | 7 August 2011

Great tale of theft of famous painting from Louvre in 1911. Security
  eccentric, at best. More than a day passed before alarm was raised. Police
  investigation stunningly incompetent. At one point, Picasso suspected

Ryan Lizza | New Yorker | 15 August 2011

Everything you need to know about Michele Bachmann, Tea Party insurgent and

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown | Independent | 8 August 2011

Well-judged condemnation of dictators' wives. "When you are married to a man
  who can make or break humans and entire nations, you have an obligation
  beyond the marriage." Stand by a dishonourable man, share the blame, the
  punishment [14]Comments

Rohan Maitzen | LA Review of Books | 5 August 2011

In praise of crime fiction. Particularly a 10-volume Swedish series
  predating Mankell and Stieg Larsson. Offered a "slyly devastating critique
  of the social and political condition of Sweden". Just don't call it crime
  fiction [16]Comments
