A Subscription-Only Piece You Should Pay For

I love doing the semiannual “Great Nonfiction Pieces Online For Free” lists (here’s the one from the end of 2012), but it has one obvious drawback: The amazing stuff that’s gated doesn’t get any love from this blog. So a quick note that if you are behind on your New Yorker reading so far this year and have yet to look at Jon Lee Anderson’s piece about Venezuela (“Letter from Caracas: Slumlord”), you need to catch up on it. Yes, it’s subscription-only, but completely worth the investment.

Oh, an equally amazing piece from the same publication, Patrick Radden Keefe’s new article about the Amy Bishop murder case (“A Loaded Gun“) is completely free and ungated. It’s likewise a must-read.
