monday morning round-up

I have an enormous amount of respect for Nicholas Kristof, in no small part because of his devotion to the women of the world. This recent piece from the Times is him in a nut-shell, and brings a warmth and respect to the Catholic Church scandals that are sorely lacking in much of the media coverage. (For example, in Maureen Dowd's recent obsession with the whole sorry business.)

As a quick follow-up to an article I posted last week, a Wisconsin DA was apparently not actually threatening sex-ed teachers with jail time, he was merely informing them that he could send them to jail. A fine line, indeed.

Gorgeous, gorgeous photographs of NYC after-hours.

Eschewing all things urban and heading west to the San Juan Islands, a la Nick Fahey (“I don’t worry about whether I am clothed or not,” Mr. Fahey said. “But the weather is such that it’s a good idea to wear some clothes.”) has, at times, a certain indisputable appeal.
