Mrs. Wolfe, who is more thoroughly on top of the blogosphere than any reader we know, while still turning out superb sandwich rolls, pointed out that George Packer has been blogging important and excellent stuff about the Iranian election. Mr Packer, who, as the 2009 Harriet Beecher Stowe lecturer, was last week’s lion at the Merc (and what a memorable night it was) has unusually good Iranian insight thanks to daily breakfast table conferences with his journalist wife whose beat for years has been Iran. Read him. Follow his links. Emulate his balance.
Stacked readers who were unable to swap their opening night opera tickets for the Saturday performance, causing them to miss the lecture, can see it on CET Connect if and when it goes up, but they will not be able recapture the excellence of the hors d’oeuvres.
