Here are the links to articles for you to peruse this weeked. I highly recommend the New Yorker article. Yes, it is very long, but it is also very, very good, and I know you won't regret taking the time to read it. You may also notice that almost all of these are from the New York Times (teacher bias, anyone?) Feel free to look up other articles from other reputable news sources.
Happy reading!
