The Week In Entertainment

TV: How did I not know about The Newsroom? Watched the first season, and will catch up on the second one as quickly as possible. Wonderful stuff. Last episode (for the season) of Perception, which was okay. Glad to see they're not trying to push Daniel and Kate together; it wouldn't be believable. Almost the end (!!) of Futurama. One more episode.

Read:  The Great Dissent, about Oliver Wendell Holmes and the rise of taking the First Amendment seriously - with the resurgence of the Espionage Act of 1917, very timely too. Also Gideon's Trumpet, about the right to an attorney. Then diversion again with Neil Gaiman's lovely collection M is for Magic.
