...York Times, but this past January, I could not ignore the headlines: J.D. Salinger, Howard Zinn, Abraham Sutzkever, and Louis Auchincloss all died within the span of a week. All of these men were writers who, in recently leaving the world, have left behind on culture a mark that we, unfortunately, cannot fully identify...
These smaller pieces didn’t left enough of a mark on our culture to become the centerpieces of these men’s obituaries, and it would be strange if figures such as these were commemorated for works no one has heard of.

They aren't the big names, but they channel the big names...
...with the estimated 200,000-plus dead, the government and the people of Haiti are now taking her seriously. To mark the quake's one-month anniversary, she asked for three days of fasting, which she said God wanted Haitians to complete as an offering of repentance. The Haitian government accepted her request and decided to add an extra day of holiday during a time typically filled with the bustling Compas music of Carnival. And the man who once turned her away came to pay homage...
