this is a good profile of David Milch - writer of Deadwood among other things, and hard living man - and also a piece on aging and dementia:

I've never read it, and only learned who this guy was a few days ago. Never heard of him before.
Meh.
Figure I'll give it a read when I have more time.
You've never heard of The Machine?
there's a ton of way better comics but Bert has some decent bits.
After getting part way though the article, I realised I had read it when it first came out. At the time I thought the guy sounded like a hudge entitled douche. Now that I've read it again, I stand by my statement.Quote:

Three that have stuck with me over the years:
2004ish profile of Chateau Musar vinyard in GQ
GQ profile of Sean Thackrey and his pig farm winery in Bolinas, CA (also roughly 2004ish)
A SKI (or SKIING) article about skiing in Russia where the journalist got "attacked" by wild boars.
Also author George Saunders wrote quite a few great pieces for GQ in the mid oughts (his one on Dubai was particularly entertaining).

More spoken word. The fall of Saigon will be 45 years ago next month, this is originally from NPR in 1985. Very well done.

Is that the same Joe Frank as in Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds ?Quote:

Interesting read. Theft of indigenous land via treaties, many of which were broken, is well known. But I had no idea about how this played into development of our university system.
