Once a year, the New York Times Magazine turns into a print edition of Boing Boing. Always my favorite issue of the year, but then I like quirky news items and adventurous science experimentations. Actually, several topics I'd read about elsewhere, but nowhere with the clout of the Grey Lady.
The New York Times Magazine - Features - Columns - Style - The New York Times This month, as in the past five Decembers, the magazine looks back on the passing year from a distinctive vantage point: that of ideas. Our editors and writers have located the peaks and valleys of ingenuity — the human cognitive faculty deployed with intentions good and bad, purposes serious and silly, consequences momentous and morbid. The resulting intellectual mountain range extends across a wide territory. Now it’s yours for the traversing in a compendium of 74 ideas arranged from A to Z.
I may quote some them if I get around to it, but if you can, browse the issue.
