An item in the March 23 Dance column mentioned a Canadian danseur named Matthew Golding, describing him as "the Brad Pitt of ballet." I did a Google search for images of him, and he really does look like Brad Pitt.

I highly recommend Seymour Hersh's March 23 article about his return to Vietnam.

I am finding Jonathan Franzen's April 6 article on climate change vs. conservation interesting reading. I recommend it. (Franzen's articles are usually interesting reading.)

I think I read part of that but I need to go back and re-read.

Over lunch today I finished Ariel Levy's April 13 article about compensation for people wrongfully convicted of crimes; I found that a scary article.

Over supper last night I started to read the April 20 article about John Barrymore and the totem pole.

The John Barrymore piece is entertaining.

I'm reading through some of the articles I ripped out of old issues so that I could get rid of the old issues with a clear conscience. So I just finished the one from Dec., 2013, about Saudi women finally being allowed to work in stores, as long as their interactions with male employers or customers are kept to the barest minimum. It's a good article, but of course infuriating.

One brief anecdote tells about a 42-year-old divorced women with two kids. When the older son turns 12, he will become her guardian.

I remember that one, now that you mention it.

At lunch today I read the article about Fantasy Sports, and I came away with no clue about Fantasy Sports. My review: Don't waste your time on this one.

I vaguely remember reading an article about Fantasy Sports in an earlier issue. What week are you talking about?
