    Another great lineup, Jim — but Ming Thein’s piece especially hit me between the eyes, after spending my week arguing with a feisty and excessively inquisitive art director. I had labeled her “difficult,” but am rethinking that label as “pushing the envelope.” And Philip Greenspun’s piece! WOW. That one deserves a wide audience! Thank you so much for sharing it here.
