Hopefully, a detente between Left and Right

First, an interview by MotherJones magazine of Niall Ferguson (!) I may have been loathe to admit it a year or so ago, but much of what he says makes sense. A nuanced view of feminism, Superwoman v/ Supermom, an informed POV on 3/11 in Madrid, somewhat convoluted beliefs on Islam, a long philosophical treatise on mind and body, and reviews on books critical of the current Bush regime, which I have not had a chance to finish as of this writing, because it's a really looong piece.
