 Best of the Moment

The Neuroscience Of Bob Dylan's Genius

Jonah Lehrer | Guardian | 6 April 2012

"'It's just this sense that you got something to say.' What he felt was the itch of an imminent insight, the tickle of lyrics that needed to be written down. 'I found myself writing this song, this story, this long piece of vomit'" Comments

A Plea For Beauty: A Manifesto For A New Urbanism

Roger Scruton | American Enterprise Institute | 29 March 2012

Absorbing essay on decline of American cities, how to create thriving urban areas. "To plan or not to plan is a false choice. Instead, civic leaders should think in terms of fostering beauty through the use of aesthetic constraints" Comments

Iran's Spymaster

Jay Soloman & Siobhan Gorman | WSJ | 4 April 2012

Profile of General Qasem Soleimani, boss of Iran's Qods Force—spies and special forces used for murder and skulduggery abroad. In charge of policy towards Syria, Iraq, Lebanon. "Evil genius." Shades of Le Carré's Karla Comments

The Errors Of Their Ways

Rachel Giese | Walrus | 1 April 2012

Fine essay on medical error. "As the tools for healing proliferate, so do the difficulties in determining and executing correct diagnoses and treatments; each discovery creates new opportunities for mistakes, side effects, dangers" Comments

Bosnia: Twenty Years On

Allan Little | BBC | 6 April 2012

A mere slip of a piece, and yet its commentary on war, and war reporting, is worth more than many longer ones. "May I ask you, I said, are you a Muslim or a Croat? And the answer he gave me still shames me as it echoes in my head" Comments

Lunch With The FT: Larry David

Matthew Garrahan | FT | 6 April 2012

For once it lives up to its name. The only thing Larry David wants to talk about is lunch itself. Nuts are good in salad. Fruit too. But not cheese. “I’m anti-cheese in a salad. I don’t think the tastes are complementary" Comments

Cheat Sheet - Exclusive Poll: America’s Deepening Racial Divide

The Cheat Sheet

Today: All Accounted for In Jet Crash , Avalanche Buries Up to 150 Pakistanis , GOP Superdelegates: Mitt’s Our Man
Cheat Sheet: Morning

AFTER TRAYVON

A poll by Newsweek and The Daily Beast has found deep divides between whites and blacks about race in America. While 80 percent of blacks say Trayvon Martin's death was racially motivated, whites are evenly split—and only 19 percent of whites think racism is a big problem. The Daily Beast’s Douglas Schoen analyzes the results.

SEARCH

All the residents of a Virginia Beach apartment complex have been accounted on Saturday, one day after an F-18 fighter jet slammed into the complex. Officials said a “catastrophic mechanical malfunction” caused the Navy jet to crash, and crash and subsequent explosion damaged five buildings. The two pilots, who suffered minor injuries, ejected the plummeting jet from a low altitude.

TRAPPED

Up to 150 Pakistani soldiers have been buried in an avalanche near the Indian border, military officials said Saturday. The avalanche came upon them suddenly and a helicopter team and search dogs have been deployed in the hunt for missing personnel, but casualties are expected in a region where Indian and Pakistani troops face off against each other and the inhospitable climate 20,000 feet above sea level. The avalanche struck at about 6 a.m. local time.

CONSENSUS

Mitt, Mitt, he’s our man. And if he can’t do it, it’s probably true that no one can. In another sign that it’ll be Mitt Romney challenging Barack Obama this year, the Republican delegates who automatically go to the party’s convention have said that the former Massachusetts governor will clearly be the GOP’s nominee. “Look, Governor Romney’s going to be the nominee, and he’s going to have enough votes,” said Bob Bennett, an RNC superdelegate from Ohio. The RNC’s 120 superdelegates can vote for whichever candidate they want come the national convention in August.

DANGER

Thousands have poured from Syria’s embattled towns and villages as the United Nations’ April 10 deadline for a ceasefire nears. Turkish hospitals are treating the wounded as smugglers and Free Syrian fighters secret their casualties out of the combat zone, just part of the estimated 2,800 Syrians who fled across the border on Thursday alone. Refugees report that Assad’s forces continue to shell civilian areas and conduct strikes with tanks and helicopters.
