Required Reading for February 2011
- From Sports Illustrated, an excellent story about Aliquippa High School outside of Pittsburgh. The school produced NFL greats Mike Ditka, Tony Dorsett, and Derelle Revis. It's a story of the decline of an old steel town, drugs, gangs, violence, and the high school football team that holds the place together. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1181210/index.htm
- From Foreign Policy: Why is Al Queda Keeping Quiet About the Arab Revolutions? http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/02/15/at_a_loss_for_words
- From Slate: South Park and it's take on religion: http://www.slate.com/id/2284692/pagenum/all/#p2
