The Official Story

Random quote of the day:


“A society in crisis teaches itself to congeal into one story only, and see reality through very narrow glasses. But there is never only one story."

—David Grossman, interview, New York Times, December 13, 2003





(This quote has been widely misattributed to Amos Oz. In the original interview with Israeli novelists David Grossman, Amos Oz, and A. B. Yehoshua, Mr. Oz does have many of the best lines, but this one actually belongs to Mr. Grossman.)

Incredible drama

In case you missed this incredibly dramatic link over at lilithsaintcrow... A riveting moment-by-moment attempt to save two Russian girls from possible exploitation and sex trafficking in NYC.

The Internet sometimes does live up to its reputation.
