1.  Last night I interviewed Jeremy Lin, a basketball phenom at Harvard (yes, that&#8217;s right) who is a legitimate contender to be first-round draft pick for the NBA.  He&#8217;s also a devout believer.  I&#8217;ll post the interview next week.  For now, here&#8217;s the best article written on [...]]]></description>
