The August 25th Issue

Honestly, this issue kind of sucked, so excuse us if our summaries do too. The articles just weren't that compelling, and Juliet told me that she thinks George Packer is phoning it in these days.

We'll bang these out and hopefully have more to say about the next issue.

One thing that was pretty good and interesting was the Talk of the Town by Richard Rayner called Bug Wars. It explained the biological pest control that was used in Beijing to get the trees green by the time of the Olympics. Parasites were bred and dispersed so they could infect and kill the moths that were destroying the trees.
