I just came online and found a NY Times.com News Alert. My blood pressure always rises a bit when I see one of those announcements, which often relate to one catastrophe or another. As I reject the subject line, I saw the word "Venus."
Perhaps because I'm working on a novel about traveling to Mars and hence thinking astromically these days, I imagined I was about to read a story related to space travel. I was close to clicking the link when I noticed that the subject line said: "Venus Williams Defeats..."
A sports story masquerading as news. This is the world we inhabit, where a game is treated with the same importance as war, the economy, education, life and death.
