minoanmiss: "Asian American lawmakers implore Republicans to tone down rhetoric in wake of attacks." I hadn't heard about this hearing, and I hadn't known it was the first in three decades to deal with racism against Asian Americans. Somehow I don't think that lacuna was because the problem was solved. "'Our community is bleeding. We've been in pain and for the past year we've been screaming out for help,' [Rep.

3. Because partisans are never not relevant: "The Nazi-Fighting Women of the Jewish Resistance." Everybody, a round of "Shtil, di nakht."

I preordered that book immediately after reading the article. My dad wd have read those two opening paragraphs, read them out loud, smacked the kitchen table and said "now THAT'S how you write a good opening."
