They really do. So much that different channels keep showing reruns of the show. And of Seinfeld and Friends. I remember a scene from Crocodile Dundee 2

This quote I stole from T.S. Eliot and from the papers from my other class, The Journalistic Tradition. The way I interpret it is that great writing is not necessarily about inventing the weel, or if it is, it is about reinventing it, make it bigger or paint it in a different color. Great writing

I was reading The Village Voice and bumped into this article about young american people living abroad. "Get out of town" it was called. And I realized that I read it through without letting myself get distracted at any point by other stories, adds etc.

I still remember the picture of my father in one of Denmark's tabloids. Coming out of the court house in Copenhagen, having attended a hearing about an employee where he worked. The details about the case I do not remember. What I do remember though

I went through a Danish newspaper online this evening, Politiken, just to catch up on what's happening back there. Expecting to read local Danish news, I was surprised.

It’s difficult to say what exactly makes you want to read that specific piece of writing. Is it the subject, does it have nothing to do with the subject, but rather the form in which the subject is being presented?

In October last year, the Danish journalist, Frank Esmann, publishes the book “Kissinger”, about Henry Kissinger. Frank Esmann is highly esteemed, respected for his journalistic work and a local Danish celebrity.

In Touch magazine poses this question, showing a snapshot of how Kate (Hudson) used to look before, “gorgeously curvy”, standing on the red carpet in a lavender-colored dress, radiant, looking directly at the photographer; and another of how she looks now, wearing a grey t-shirt which cannot be accused of ever having been in shape, jeans, shy sun glasses and a hat to hide underneath, round-shouldered, looking down, more likely on her way to the supermarket than to a premiere. In Touch notes that “her arms look too weak to carry 20-month-old son Ryder”.

The article concerns itself with whether the attempt to be thin has gone too far for “Hollywood’s hottest actresses”. And the concern is not only about Kate. It’s also about Nicole and Hilary and Jessica. Has the pressure become too severe?
