Got the final pages on the July Esquire piece
Friday, May 11, 2007 at 3:39AM Already got a 10k blog written for that one.
This one is special for me: another map which I annotate, and for the first-time ever some photos from me personally during the reporting. Got about 300 from the trip and I'll have to get either Esquire or Sean to make something happen online with them when the story comes out--canyoubelieveit--in something like three weeks!
Never had two so quick like that.
But . . . already have something proposed for Top 100 Ideas October issue (off-shoot from this piece that didn't make it in), an opinion essay, and possibly a write-up of somebody for the Best & Brightest.
If I got two out of three, I'd be incredibly lucky, but a fellow can dream.
As I said earlier, Warren did a beautiful job editing this one. With each reported piece, he's been required to generate less bridge stuff on his own as I get smarter in my reporting, but I remain immensely appreciative of how Mark's brought me along in this process. He is a natural teacher, and one of the best I've ever had (and I've had some world-class superstars).

An interesting little article on wildlife in Time this week. Illustrates the deepening effects of globalization some may not think about when thinking about the concept, specifically how cultural differences and traditions (here the Chinese "jones" for turtle meat has affected the ecological landscape of its trade partners, ie. countries in SE Asia (Burma, Myanmar, Thailand) and possibly, the US. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion regarding your thoughts on this relationship between globalization and possible environmental impacts (ie. Does this represent an instance of a quick economic growth and a "lagging" rule set regarding environmental protection, or perhaps is there a rule set in place in this regard). Thanks!

Basic rule set: Your hunger must end where the viability of the species becomes threatened.
Love your quote above: "Basic rule set: Your hunger must end where the viability of the species becomes threatened."
This basic rule set can be contemplated from so many different angles and applied to so many different things -- even to the more general arguments made for and/or against globalization.
