Goodbye Quakers, hello Frappuccino
Peter Slevin of The Washington Post has written such a moving profile of two Quakers’ long-term work in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing development that you may end up wishing this once notoriously violent community would stay together forever.

Iron Mike has a sense of humor
Here’s one of the more playful uses of “get religion” I’ve seen in a headline: “Getting religion about health,” which is Salon’s Q&A with Arkansas Gov.

I think it says something about Phillip E. Johnson that the best art I could find of the man using Google images was a cartoon on the cover of one of his own books.
