Staff Biographies
"Giving well is the best
revenge." |
 When
in doubt,
advertise
Doc Cuddy puts in his own two cents worth on the war effort. Whenever capitalist America
has a product to sell, it advertises. Perhaps, he suggests, the time has come for us to advertise ourselves,
fruited plains, somewhat shaky Bill of Rights, Rodeo Drive, and all.
Les naivités dangereuses
 Rean Rhyne wrestles with some old problems having to do
with words, faith, science, and like that.
F A T H E R S A N D S O N S
The risks of being young, assessed by
Caravaggio 400 years ago.
How Stupid
Can You Get
In a companion piece to his essay on the idea of "America" in
Magellan's Log 41, Douglas Milburn adds a parallel meditation on the dangers of Realpolitik
as it applies both to Muslim extremists and to the United States. Read
both essays here.
Get Thee to Greece
 Having trouble
with life in the Third Millennium? Sweaty palms when opening the mail? TV just makes you
more nervous? Instant messaging produces only instant angst? Elinor Hoefs has the escapist
ticket for you: Mary Renault's vivid, engrossing
novels of ancient Greece.
Attaboy, 43!
 Our Token Republican columnist, Ora Shay, who shares a hometown with Dubya,
breathes a sigh of relief in response to his decision
to "eradicate evil from the world."
 It's the
Education,
Stupid!
Michelle Furr charts a path through the wilderness of false piety and arrogant humility. First, fill the stomachs, she says, and then?
Port Arthur
A picture and some sounds for thinking, or
maybe for not-thinking.

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best
revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and
thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's
Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the
funniest book of the 21st century (so far).
When Art Smarts
Diebold Essen has been watching Derek Jarman's penultimate film, The Last of England,
and delivers himself of a few choice words
concerning art and violence.
Wealth has never yet sacrificed itself on the
altar of patriotism.
--Robert LaFollette.
 Moonlight's
End
Ever mindful of bandwidth limitations, here we go again, trying to delight your eyes and
ears at the same time with minimal technology tricks. This time with seven minutes of Beethoven midi and a
Javascript slideshow.
Spare Change
The president says the nation needs another "$60 or $75 billion" shot
in the arm. Joel Fluker has some ideas about what
to do with that casually mentioned difference of $15 billion.
One Picture Is Worth
200,000,000 Words
We've worked up a little graph (it ain't pretty) to show that unless we're really, really
careful the 21st century might not turn out to be
quite what we've been foreseeing through our rose-colored pixelated spectacles.
How to Yo-yo
Amaze your friends. Baffle your enemies. Gentle
instructions from a time long ago and a place far away on the fine art of yo-yo-ing.
Wings of
Song
Letter to a young friend in a time of war, by
Sawyer Brown.
