Every so often, I miss my New Yorker subscription - it was one of the simple pleasure left behind in my move to Portland.  I try to survive by following the magazine online.  But this week, more than most, I considered renewing:

  • Steven Coll, one of my favorite foreign affairs commentators, on the Obama administration's Af. Pak. strategy 

  • A beautiful, dark poem by Philip Levine

  • A short story by the novelist currently at the top of my reading list, Jonathan Letham

  • Lastly, perhaps provoked by Souter's retirement, a piece on Chief Justice Roberts by that most avid follower of the Supreme Court, Jeffrey Toobin
