Charles Fishman | Atlantic | 30 November 2012 After years of offshore production, General Electric is moving much of its appliance manufacturing back to the United States. Here is why it makes business sense to do so, and why others are beginning to follow suit Comments Gary Marcus | New Yorker | 2 December 2012 "The real problem with neuroscience today isn’t with the science—though plenty of methodological challenges still remain—it’s with the expectations. Neuroscience has yet to find its Newton, let alone its Einstein" Comments Stella Forstner | Hairpin | 3 December 2012 Sinologist, former Scientologist, compares Scientology with Maoism. "Reading those Cultural Revolution memoirs, I felt a kinship to people who were children at a time when the adults in their lives were acting completely insane" Comments Timothy Snyder | NYRB | 3 December 2012 Review of recent Holocaust books.

When Germany grabbed Lithuania from Russia in 1941 he got his chance Comments Carl Swanson | New York | 2 December 2012 Actually, he's 29, though he seems a lot older. And mega-rich from Facebook. Which enabled him to buy the New Republic this year, after failing to buy the New York Review of Books. "He radiates opportunity in an era of disruption" Comments Schroeder Veidt | Deviant Art | 21 November 2012 Perfectly safe for work, despite the URL. Mostly pictures, but the words are well chosen too. "It is important for introverts to feel welcome. They don't want to spend their precious energy on people who don't want them around" Comments |
