Editor's Note: I realize that occasionally I post links to the New York Times which cannot be accessed without having an account. I apologize to those who would like to read the link but don't have an account. The accounts are FREE and easy to set up, but I understand if people do not want to fill out such forms. I will say, however, that the Times often has incredibly insightful pieces that I would like to share with others. To accomodate this concern, I will try from now on to write a bit more about what the piece is that I am linking to for those who cannot directly link the piece. Let me know if there's anything further you would suggest or require from me. Thanks.
