Saturday Good Reads

So much to read, so little time. I used to be amazed when I started finding so many good things to read and view on the web. No longer. In fact, I'm starting to go in the opposite directioon -- I'll be amazed when I stop finding good things. Below are links to just a few of them.

One note: I have usually avoided references and/or links to poltiical stuff, for the simple reason that my own blog avoids political stuff. There's a link below -- a column by writer Peggy Noonan for The Wall Street Journal -- that on the face of it may seem political but it actually transcends politics. It's more profound than that. She's raising a warning flag that needs to be heeded.
