1. The obituary of Wilma Mankiller, Cherokee Indian leader, makes for interesting reading. Some parallels with NZ occurred to Adam when reading this article. Makes you wonder whether welfare is in fact the best approach to problems.

2. Gentleman Grafter, a tale of New York at Vanity Fair and not what you might think.

3. Fraser Nelson at The Spectator on the 3rd UK leaders’ debate

4. The iPad, Kindle and the future of books from The New Yorker.

5. UK Daily Telegraph on jollies for teachers under Labour
