The unbearable lightness of Schwarzenegger | page 1, 2
"Do You Believe in Life After Love?" by Eric Gillin Eric Gillin, a writer at TheStreet.com, has dreams -- namely of writing punchy prose about beer, breasts and gadgets for Maxim. His personal account of his application process at that magazine to fulfill those dreams is a wonderful read, and between the one-liners and drunken bouts there's some interesting insight into the overrated world of New York publishing. In this, the last of his four-part saga, ambitious youngster Gillin learns his fate. Green, by the way, started several years back as a zine that addressed financial issues in terms those of us without M.B.A.s could comprehend. Under the leadership of its founding editor Ken Kurson, it is improving steadily without sacrificing any of its unique character. - - - - - - - - - - - - Weekly Planet (Tampa Bay, Fla.), Nov. 25-Dec. 1 "An Instant Family" by John Sugg For those of you who embrace the feel-good, family, love, "most wonderful time of the year" theory of the holidays, John Sugg writes this eloquent essay on adoption. Sugg and his wife recently adopted five children at once -- this after decades of coupledom. Heartwarming or stupid? You decide. - - - - - - - - - - - - The Village Voice, Dec. 1-7 "AIDS: The Agony of Africa" by Mark Schoofs Mark Schoofs continues his six-part series on the AIDS epidemic in Africa with a look at how the submissive sexual role many women on the continent are forced to take has led to the increased spread of the sexually transmitted virus. The Voice deserves high praise for publishing this challenging and important series, all of which is worth reading. - - - - - - - - - - - - Missoula Independent, Nov. 25-Dec. 1 "Gearing Up for Winter" by Jeff Seaton New sick trend alert! Snow biking -- that is, riding a bike down ski slopes -- is the NEW BIG THING. Quick! Someone call MTV! Get Daisy Fuentes on this immediately! - - - - - - - - - - - - The riots in Seattle have stolen headlines for the past week, and I don't wish to add much to the glut of information already at your disposal concerning the World Trade Organization and its excitable critics. However, if you are searching for the alt. weekly perspective on all things tear gas, the Seattle Weekly has published more articles than you could ever hope for on the topic. For slightly less rousing commentary, the Willamette Week published a lengthy round-table discussion of the conference in its venerable pages.
