Mark Bowden article about David Simon
« on: January 23, 2008, 07:56:07 PM »
Now that The Atlantic is completely free on-line including the vast archives. Went searching and found this which actually just came out in the newest issue. If your not familiar with Bowden he has written a few books you might have heard of Black Hawk Down, Killing Pablo, and Philly Boy Roys favorite the one about the Eagles (the football team not the shit band).

HA! I read this headline, and for whatever reason thought that someone at The Atlantic had written a story about that kid Simon Rich.

Hey, I love Ninja Warrior. Will anybody contribute to a topic about that show, and the richness it has brought to my understanding of everyday Japanese citizens, who think that crawling through a plexiglass obstacle course makes them Ninjas? Before this show, I would have just dismissed them outright. Now I feel like I underSTAND them.
