Atul Gawande (on doctors and computers, Nov. 12 issue) is good as always.

I found that one more boring than his usual. Still, interesting points. I quoted it at work because our computer system there is terrible: unintuitive, confusing, wayyy too complicated. I prefer to write in Word and then paste it into the system because the word-processing part is so bad. Presumably it makes the whole process -- writer to editor to copy desk to designer to printer -- easier somehow, although everyone complains about it.

I read fervently Rebecca Mead's article on podcasting in the November 19 issue. It was terribly long, but I just couldn't put it down.

My father's primary care physician is dealing with just such issues as Gawande discusses.
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm sure it must be weird to enjoy an article about how we are destroying the planet, thanks to Exxon, the Koch brothers, et al,, and thus how we are destroying ourselves (I mean humankind), but I always enjoy reading Bill McKibben (Nov. 26).
