reading for intellect's sake

recently, i've been addicted to reading nicholas kristof's opinion columns in the nytimes. he's an amazing journalist that i first heard about when he came to san diego to speak about "turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide." he's known for journaling about human rights abuses worldwide and such, and i've yet to find a column that i didn't find interesting. he didn't win two pulitzer prizes for nothing.
