Its invisible bacteria are infecting American politics in destructive ways, diverting attention from hometown and state corruption to Washington and instilling in the public mind the myth that Washington is the root of all evil |  | New York's Ghostly Rail Line Conjured in New Photo Exhibit - Gerard Malanga's "Ghostly Berms," an exhibition of photographs of the overgrown remnants of the Harlem Line from Manhattan to Chatham, NY, which stopped running 40 years ago, is on display in Hillsdale, NY, east of Hudson. |  | Journalism Is About Listening - Let us now praise famous men, James Agee said famously. Journalism certainly does that. Probably too much, especially in a public relations age when you can become famous for being famous. |  | Is Hatred and Fear of Women Behind Our Obsession With Blind Ideology? - We pay a terrible societal cost for our compulsion to be right and to follow ideology blindly, says prize-winning poet Djelloul Marbrook. |
