1. Ken Auletta’s profile of Wall Street Journal editor Robert Thomson, a close friend of Rupert Murdoch’s
2. Laura Miller’s story on fantasy writer George R. R. Martin (most famous for A Game of Thrones) and the ruckus he’s created among his fan base by not finishing the latest book in his series

4. Keith Ridgway’s short story, “Goo Book”
