The Week's Links: Not Forgetting Poverty & Remembering Hitchens

A few unfair swipes in this Times op-ed, but the larger point about addressing poverty to help address what happens in the classroom is a good one.

Any number of pieces can be read on the passing of Christopher Hitchens, but Jacob Weisberg's comment at Slate on Hitch's generosity to young people reminded me of a time when I had the very good fortune of seeing that generosity up close.  I'll have more thoughts next week.
