this american life redux

FYI, that This American Life episode I wrote about earlier is now online in RealAudio. (The first 10 minutes aren’t as good as the remainder, so hang in there.) Also online (and referenced during the show) is Lee Sandlin’s 1997 piece on the psychology of life in war time, from the always logorrheic (but usually worth it) Chicago Reader. (I like parentheses a lot.)
