On What Is The Real-Real Thing?

This is an incredible article. One of my favorite dissections of authenticity comes from a book on creation of country music. There is no authenticity, just "credible in the current context." I really like the appropriation of that Science-y Term used like that.

On Goldman Sachs Overcorrects A Decade of Employee Compensation Trending

On UCLA Students Riot Over Huge Tuition Increase

There's also staff and faculty refusing to work and students occupying the library: From the Socialist Worker

Even the older kids are alright! The Grad Student Union at the University of Illinois just striked and won contract language guaranteeing tuition waivers.

Take notes, NYUers.
