Really Come Together (Los Angeles Times)
05/08/2004 05:05 AMLos Angeles Times - It is late February of a wild, fractured season, a
season as strange as any in memory. The Lakers have just defeated the
Suns, 104-92, in Phoenix, the fourth victory in a row for a team
struggling to live up to immense expectations.

I first pointed to this stunning
Valdis Krebs infographic
back in March
2004, when the New York Times published it. Krebs has long been
fascinated with the clusters that emerge from an analysis of Amazon's
related-purchase data. I was reminded of his chart the other day when
I heard
this
exchange (Real, 1 min, 40 sec) between Terri Gross and Norman
Podhoretz, which includes this quote:
I have almost no friends any longer who are liberal, and I suspect
this is true of most people on both sides of the divide. Since the
sixties, the polarization has become more intense, and there are fewer
and fewer friendships that can be sustained across the divide in this
country.
What religious differences used to be, and aren't any more (in our
world, not the Muslim world), political differences have become.
They've acquired a kind of religious intensity, and are tinged with a
kind of intolerance that used to characterize religious differences.
[Norman
Podhoretz, inteviewed by Terri Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, Real, 20
min.)
Having lived on both sides of the chasm -- he was a radical liberal
before he became a founder of neoconservativism -- Podhoretz seems to
have a rare appreciation of the great divide. I suspect the majority
of us, not having lived on both sides, lack that same gut-level
appreciation.

On
the Great Atlantic Divide Published on Sunday, October 26, 2003 by
TomDispatch.com. By Susan Sontag.
I came across this piece at
dailyKos
"Two weeks ago during the Frankfurt Book Fair, the Association of
German Publishers and Booksellers awarded the Friedenspreis des
Deutschen Buchhandels (the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade) to
Susan Sontag. She was cited for standing up for "the dignity of
free thinking" and for her role as an "intellectual
ambassador" between the United States and Europe. The
association's director Dieter Schormann commented, "In a world of
false images and distorted truths, she defends the honor of free
thought." In its over half-century of existence, the
Friedenspreis Prize has been awarded to Chinua Achebe, Max Frisch,
Jurgen Habermas, Yehudi Menuhin, and Vaclav Havel among many others.
An excerpt from Susan Sontag's acceptance speech was published today
in the Los Angeles Times Book Review section, but I thought the whole
speech, which focuses on the increasingly embattled relationship
between Europe and the United States, or rather between much of
Europe, especially the various peoples of Europe, and the Bush
administration, was well worth reproducing as a whole. Near its end is
a rare moment in which Sontag considers an aspect of her early life in
public. Her most recent book, by the way, is Regarding the Pain of
Others. What follows then, with her kind permission, is her full
acceptance speech. (The title and subheads are, however, mine.) Tom

The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia

03/21/2003 12:14 AM The Los Angeles Times goes
multimedia. For the past few weeks, the LA Times has begun a
significant push into offering video, audio, and interactive Flash on
their website. One of the most interesting aspects is that the paper
has moved one step beyond simply replaying AP Television clips as many
sites have done; the LA Times writers are stand before the cameras and
microphones themselves and report stories in a stuttering,
non-hairsprayed, introverted demeanor that I find very refreshing,
though so far I have gleaned very little additional information from
it. When does (or can) this mode of journalism on the web rise above
gimmickry or 'just because we can' and add value to a written article?
Can video/tv news rise above mere spectacle?
