Wednesday's New York Times has another front-page headline on the ongoing Afghanistan war strategy debate. This article written by Peter Baker, while it did not follow the standard "inverted pyramid" form or the run-on summary lead typical of the paper, I found his writing style intriguing. The opening scene of Biden's grim assessment of Afghanistan read like a narrative which made it seem as if I were reading a novel rather than the everyday news. The following photograph on page A3 seemed to capture the essence of the article: Biden's influence over Obama. Obama's pensive facial expression expresses Obama's reconsideration of a new strategy in Afghanistan.
The "Tent City" of Homeless was rejected in Florida. In Miami, Catholic Charities had a vision to create a 90-day encampment for the homeless out of a 12-acre church lot. This vision was put to vote and denied for reasons of other failed attempts at the same vision: incidents of theft, rape and violence. "There must be a better place for the homeless" said county leaders. Yet I wonder if they have any suggestions?
