Pursuing Nuon Chea, Mastermind of Deaths
For seven years, Thet Sambath met in secret with Nuon Chea, the Cambodian leader who killed 1.7 million people—including Sambath’s parents—under the Khmer Rouge. Now, Sambath has released a documentary of their meetings. (N.Y. Times)
Justin Hartley, who plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in “Smallville” and who shared the immigrations line with me in Vancouver where the show is shot. He’s very tall in person. It’s also nice to know that celebs (albeit minor) have to endure immigrations lines just like us mere mortals.
Cigarette machines are slowly disappearing. I kind of miss them. (N.Y. Times)

I believe that the trade of critic, in literature, music, and the drama, is the most degraded of all trades, and that it has no real value. However, let it go. It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden.

AT-AT Day Afternoon by Patrick Boivin (YouTube via Daring Fireball)
I love it except that the title made me expect references to Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon.”
