Todays recommended reading from the Sunday Boston Globe: The front page piece on the prospects and notional (nowhere near actual) bid of the 2024 Summer Olympics. The reporting is excellent, illuminating the costs and benefits from this early, nascent stage. My conclusion from the piece in addition to my disposition going in is that this will not reach the stage of formal bid, which in itself seems like a wasted, valuable vision resources. The front-page profile on Ted Cruz is exemplary political biography, providing sharp insight into the makings of the man, his political movement, and its ideological drive. In short, the catalyst for todays Tea Party was the 1994 midterm elections with the rise of Newt Gingrich, with 20-somethings like Cruz, with the right childhood narratives, patiently and ambitiously nurturing and consolidating their vision of small government. Theres a cultural feature on the office of musical director of the Paris Metro (subway) that uncovers the seriousness with which Parisians take the art of subway busking. This platter of economic, political and cultural delights will keep you under the Boston Globes paywall limit.
