How the AK-47 Rewrote the Rules of Modern Warfare
Here’s a cool article on the AK-47. It’s basically an ad for “Gun” by C.J. Chivers, which I’m on the waiting list for at the library. Now, by calling it an ad I am not trying to diminish it. Just consider the article a companion piece.
Here is a related NPR story.

Delis: Timeless Temples of “Jewish Soul Food” – CBS Sunday Morning – CBS News
Nice to see Harry Smith getting some plum assignments after CBS fired his ass from their morning show.
Too bad. Yeah, he was a willing tool for conservative blowhards and that makes him a vile miscreant of sorts, but he’s been interesting to watch over the years. Junior Anderson Cooperette and What’s-his-nuts just can’t hold a candle to this guy.

Another interesting bit from this week’s Sunday Morning:
JFK: Unpublished, Never-Seen Photos – LIFE
Bruno Mars: Singing His Own Songs, At Long Last : NPR
I don’t often listen to pop music or hip-hop or any derivation thereof. So I really had no clue who Bruno Mars is until I heard this interview he did on NPR last weekend.
I checked out some of his stuff and it isn’t all that bad. Not my usual listening material – whatever that might mean – but there’s some actual skill at work there.
So color me surprised and check it out if you’re interested.
