TWO CLONING LINKS: Good stuff from Shiloh Bucher and Thomas Nephew. I found these through Nephew’s Newsrack blog, which in turn I found through Ted Barlow, because I’m waiting for a phone call that’s now 46 mins. late. Oy.

Also, this New Republic article is well worth your time. (Why do I keep saying that? I’m confused. Make the neolib goodness stop!) It’s about immigrants, their children, and why it’s harder to make it in America than you might think. Unsurprisingly, I think the article should have focused more on family breakdown, but it’s still a compelling piece.
