Another fast week. I need to try and work out a scheme to slow things down, or 2014 will be over before you can say “peace talks”, or something like that. Back in the real world, the really fast world, here are a selection of links I hope you will find interesting and worthy of your time and attention. Especially your time.

• Dallas sportscaster is a hero
• Death of a poet
• Getting over the hump
• Lebanon’s shame
• That sweet is bright, that sweet is orange

Shabbat Shalom!
