[BerkeleyDailyPlanet] The Whole Megillah

Sat Apr 11 16:16:24 PDT 2015

Today I'm doing what most readers seem to wish I wouldn't do: sending you a
long list of ALL the articles which have appeared since last Friday.  I'll
use Mark Twain's excuse to his editor: I'm sorry this is so long, but I
didn't have time to make it shorter. (At least I think it was Mark Twain.)
That's true, in spades, of my editorial too, which is why this is so late
getting out.  But here's the week in review:
