Daily Newsletter       11 March 2012  Best of the Moment How To Be Creative Jonah Lehrer | WSJ | 9 March 2012 "Creativity is not magic, and there's no such thing as a creative type. Creativity is not a trait that we inherit in our genes or a blessing bestowed by the angels. It's a skill. Anyone can learn to be creative." Here's how Comments Great American Losers Elaine Blair | NYRB | 9 March 2012 Postwar novelists—Updike, Mailer—were male triumphalists. Their successors—Franzen, Shteyngart—have overcorrected. They want women to like them. Their men are losers. Houllebecq is different. He doesn't want to be liked Comments Fukushima: A Strange Kind Of Homecoming Mure Dickie | FT | 9 March 2012 One year after the nuclear disaster, the worst fears have receded. But more than 100,000 people are still exiled from their homes, with no medium-term prospect of return. They can go back for day trips though, as the FT discovers Comments Confessions Of A Genius Art Forger Lothar Gorris and Sven Röbel | Spiegel | 9 March 2012 Just what the headline says. Interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi. German painter of fake expressionists. "I recognised what was special about a particular artist, in order to do it just a little better than he had managed himself" Comments Abortion, Infanticide, Humanity, Free Speech Kenan Malik | Pandaemonium | 7 March 2012 Is there a difference in moral status between foetus and newborn? If no, where does that argument lead? If yes, what is it and what does it mean? Malik untangles a recent controversy in this typically sensible and thoughtful piece Comments Lunch With Charles Murray Edward Luce | FT | 9 March 2012 Starts off slowly, picks up speed. Manages to convey that the esteemed conservative thinker is a lush, a braggart and a bore without saying as much. Gives him space to get that message across for himself. Nicely done Comments  FiveBooks Interview Alexandra Harris on Modernism Modernism is about form more than content, says the scholar of English literature. She tells us about the history of the movement, and picks five works that exemplify or explain it  Featured Special Report Free Will Does it exist? Or is it an illusion?

Cheat Sheet - Hillary Clinton: Women 'Must Be Fearless'

Today: U.S. Soldier Kills at Least 15 Afghans, Santorum, Romney Trade Wins, Japan Remembers Deadly Quake March 11, 2012 WOMEN IN THE WORLD 1. Hillary Clinton: Women ‘Must Be Fearless’ Taking on extremists both abroad and at home who would marginalize women, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for an “audacious” new activism at Newsweek and The Daily Beast’s third annual Women in the World Summit. “What does it mean to be a woman in the world?” Clinton asked. “It means never giving up. It means getting up, working hard, and putting a country or a community on your back.” Clinton’s rousing keynote capped off a weekend of insights from extraordinary women, from Liberian peace champion and Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee—who wondered why American women weren’t angrier—to IMF chief Christine Lagarde and the inspirational kidnap survivor Jaycee Dugard. The Daily Beast’s Jessica Bennett recaps the most riveting moments. Plus, watch video of all of the events on our Women in the World blog. Read it at The Daily Beast SHOOTING 2. U.S. Soldier Kills at Least 15 Afghans A U.S. service member reportedly walked out of a military base in southern Afghanistan on Sunday and went on a shooting spree in the middle of the night, opening fire on three nearby homes and killing at least 15 Afghan civilians. Afghan officials say the dead included a number of women and children. The U.S. soldier has been detained, but it’s not immediately known what prompted the shooting. Anti-American sentiments have been high since it was revealed last month that U.S. soldiers had accidentally burned a number of copies of the Muslim holy book the Quran, which sparked a wave of angry, deadly riots. Read it at Associated Press ON THE TRAIL 3. Santorum, Romney Trade Wins Rick Santorum won Saturday’s Kansas caucus, while Mitt Romney won Wyoming, in addition to small victories in Guam and Mariana Island. Santorum finished the weekend with a one-delegated edge after taking 33 of the 20 delegates in Kansas; Romney took 6 of the 12 in Wyoming. Romney still has an overwhelming lead in the delegate count, but is facing a series of primaries in Southern states where he is expected to fare poorly. Read it at USA Today ONE YEAR 4. Japan Remembers Deadly Quake Japan memorialized the more than 190,000 people who were killed one year ago when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck the northeastern coast and triggered a devastating tsunami that crippled the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. Emperor Akihito led millions of citizens in a minute’s silence at a ceremony in Tokyo’s National Theatre. “This is a difficult period, but we must overcome it,” he said. According to official data, more than 340,000 people are still living in temporary homes. The quake struck at 2:46 p.m. on March 11 last year and triggered a tsunami that was 128 feet tall at its highest point, laying waste to entire towns as it came ashore. Read it at Bloomberg News Washington 5. Courtroom Shooting Suspect Arrested A suspect has been arrested for the courthouse shooting in Montesano, Wash. Steven D. Kravetz allegedly shot an officer and stabbed a judge in the courthouse before fleeing the scene. His mother, Roberta Dougherty, contacted authorities after hearing reports about the attack, and he was arrested at her home in Olympia. Kravetz reportedly called his mother to get a ride after the incident. The wounded judge said that he had never seen the suspect before the attack.
