Elizabeth Gilbert on Divine Creativity
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

The News on Monday, Dec. 8: Is Health Insurance Necessary?
I started paying for Humana health insurance at the beginning of this year in an effort to be a responsible woman who can take care of herself and ensure that if I got into a catastrophic accident or, god forbid, came down with some kind of awful disease, I’d be covered.

Pow! Romance! Comics Court Girls
By MATT PHILLIPS
Wall Street Journal
The next wave of heroes in the comic book business may look more like “Plain Janes” than X-Men.
Industry heavyweights including Time Warner Inc.’s DC Comics and Marvel Entertainment Inc. are betting that girls represent a big growth opportunity for the traditionally male-dominated medium. It’s part of a renewed push in recent [...]
