A Little Background Reading
Best title-catch since Nicholson Baker took a magnifying glass to Pottery Barn catalogues:
Tom at Omnivoracious has done a little detective work to figure out what those books behind Obama in his presidential addresses are: He's pretty sure they're a collection titled Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: John F. Kennedy, 1961, 1962 and 1963. Now the question is: Are they a gift? Is Obama really reading them? Are they subliminal advertising? I can't believe I care so much about what a president-elect is reading.
