Best of the Week: January 10-16, 2010
My Google Reader feed got screwed up. (That's what I get for neglecting it for a month.) I'm not sure if I missed some articles in this week, or if I accidentally lumped them into yesterday's "Best of the Week" post. I know I'm missing some Haiti articles, but Alex and I have our own posts on Haiti forthcoming; we'll tell you most of what you need to know. I hope I managed to catch all the good articles.
