City Lights: 50 years on the cutting edge of publishing
Megan Walsh, The Times (London)
On San Francisco independent bookstore City Lights.“We’re able to take chances on writers and we hope that when we put books on our shelves it means something,” says bookseller Paul Yamasaki, “It’s important to make a very clear political statement.” This means no bestsellers, no Ayn Rand (too conservative) and no ‘three for twos’. Good to know that there are still publishers looking for more than profit.

New Orleans: Neighborhoods, some still in ruins, mourn, resist parish closures
Eileen Markey, National Catholic Reporter
In the Ninth Ward and Central City the talk is of a plan by the city fathers to rid New Orleans of poor people, to capitalize on Katrina to build an Ayn Rand city: privatized schools, starved municipal services and urban planning by a disparate network of nonprofits.

Burnin’ with the ‘American Dream’
Dave Frank, Nevada Appeal (Carson City)
Cameron Atkins [...] met [Matthew] Welter at the [Burning Man] festival last year and has worked with him on other projects. He said they spent a lot of time talking about politics, author Ayn Rand and the wonders and possibilities of Burning Man, which organizers describe as an “annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance.”

Before mailing a resume
Casey Seiler, Times Union (Albany, NY)
Here's a few of [the questions asked of potential federal prosecutors] — with suggested answers that, combined with a prominent flag lapel pin and a firm handshake, are guaranteed to make your resume stand out from the pack. [....] Q: "Tell us about your political philosophy. There are different groups of conservatives, by way of example: Social Conservative, Fiscal Conservative, Law-and-Order Republican." Good answer: "Jeez, do I really have to choose just one?" Better: "Which one gets most of the Ayn Rand fans? 'Cause that's me all over."
