Magazine catch-up continues: Harper's Magazine had the best article of yesterday's consumption, a very true-to-life piece that featured conversations with insurance adjustors specializing in evaluating and trying to settle wrongful-death cases ("Working Stiffs: the necessary parasites of capitalism"). Reprinted in the front matter was an excellent piece read first in the Times Literary Supplement, wherein a person with property in South America compares cattle-raising practices in the U.S. with his own practices ("It's What's for Dinner").
