Kay Hymowitz | City Journal | 3 December 2012 "Can I e-mail you later? I’m in labor." Would changes to maternity leave, child care and flexitime help women reach the occupational 1%? Or do the sacrifices still required mean that for many women it's simply not worth it? Comments Nathan Brown | New Republic | 3 December 2012 "The question can be asked of all of Egypt’s leading political actors: Are they purposely trying to destroy the country’s democratic hopes or merely doing so by accident?" Comments Richard Sennett | Guardian | 4 December 2012 The trouble with new, architect-designed cities: There's not enough room for randomness. "A city is not a machine. We want cities that work well enough, but are open to the shifts, uncertainties, and mess which are real life" Comments Kenan Malik | Pandaemonium | 1 December 2012 After the Leveson Inquiry. "The trouble with a more regulated press is that it is likely to become more, not less, tame and conformist, less willing to get itself into trouble, less prepared to confront those who hold power" Comments Richard Beck | n+1 | 3 December 2012 Against Homeland. "Gordon and Gansa like to describe their new project as confessing the sins of its fascistic pro-torture predecessor, 24. In practice, however, Homeland indulges many of the same fantasies" Comments Mark O'Connell | Dublin Review | 3 December 2012 On the rise of the unboxing video: "A visual document of the consummation of the purchaser–product relationship, that apex of possibility and anticipation right before the slow, inevitable decline into disappointment and neglect" Comments |
