...escaped hearing about the need to break up text into "units" and "multiple entry points" and other vaguely pornographic editorial terms. People want the gist! Newspapers need to be like TV! TV needs to be like YouTube! Enter the list--the tapas menu of media, the sonnet for the era of PowerPoint. ("Top 10 Ways to Compare Thee to a Summer's Day: 10. More lovely. 9. More temperate...

Giuliani has led the charge here, repeatedly naming Hillary Clinton in debates as the real threat facing the nation. But Sanford warns...
...what should the novice collector know before jumping in and buying the first Greek vase they find? Ambrose advises that they study up on an era or object that they are truly interested in. He also suggests building rapport with a dealer. "A respected dealer will work with you...and they love to share their knowledge," he says. Aboutaam says that the new collector needs to understand the importance of the provenance, or history, of the object. "Check the authenticity of the piece. Who is selling it and who has seen it in terms of scholars or experts?" he says...
