...This is quite a gamble Obama is taking. Just as he could have opted for the adrenaline rush of grand rhetoric in his Inaugural Address but didn't, he could have turned any of the profoundly serious actions of his first week into a whiz-bang photo opportunity. He could have planted solar panels and a wind turbine on the White House roof or blasted the Bush Administration as he signed an Executive Order banning torture or lacerated the bankers who got us into the economic mess. But that's not his style, apparently. He has reversed the tactical...
...dropping some of the cheesier spending from the stimulus plan. He will get some GOP votes for his stimulus package, but more important, he is establishing himself as a relentlessly reasonable and polite presence in town - and his comity is making it all the more difficult for buffoons like Rush Limbaugh to influence the tone of the Republican opposition...

My medium would be the lecture hall. But you're going...
...Luckily, the industry has a grace period to make adjustments. Books are in no rush to move online; Amazon is currently the only big e-book publisher. It is tedious to manually scan hundreds of pages, and the new generation of consumers often has homework, finals, or primal screams to attend to. Nevertheless, as the demand for e-books grows, bookstores should watch their backs—someday, you may have to look for your course packs online. You might not even have to wait for someday: students deterred by the price of the $60 Ec 1010a workbook can already...
