Why does Star Wars still take over the minds of small boys? – By Emily Bazelon – Slate Magazine
There are a couple things I’d like Gabriel to pick up on. Love (and anguish) of baseball as a Cubs fan is one of them. And it wouldn’t hurt if he liked Star Wars too. Here’s an article that concerns the latter.
