Columbia
Somehow, I find the idea that Columbia collectibles are already soaring on eBay faintly disgusting. (via antipixel). One aspect of a modern Western society that I can't internalize is how it can sometimes rob people of dignity. They now sell trinkets where Kennedy died.
I liked the profile of Kalpana Chawla in NYT. You can almost always count on Amy Waldman to write a balanced story.
