Slate-y Headlines

Any old rag spit out a smugly heterodox conclusions week after week (jus' playin, I still love you Marty Peretz!), but it takes Slate to really help fill in the gaps for us readers. Fortunately, of course, other publications are now using Slate-y headlines (which often begin with "how""why," or "what").  Which is convenient because just yesterday, I wondering what a New School adjunct might have to say about what Barack Obama could learn from the Chilean wine industry.

Also I just love those new political commentators they have (disclaimer: I didn't work on the Crimson with any of them).  Sometimes it takes a 25 year old with a bevy of unpaid internships under his belt to set a guy like Brad DeLong straight on monetary theory.  Also, I, for one, was glad to hear somebody finally point out the real reason  why healthcare reform took so long.
