Friday Links!

This is riveting, harrowing story: She Stalked Her Daughter’s Killers Across Mexico, One by One. Also, this is an incredible story with a terrific video as well: Zodiac Killer cipher is cracked after eluding sleuths for 51 years. This is excellent: The Man Who Found Forrest Fenn's Treasure.

Star Wars alert: This New Empire Strikes Back Set Footage Is the Best Thing You'll See Today.

From Wally, and Disney buying the Death Star seems appropriate: A Star Wars writer claims Disney isn’t paying royalties — but the issues are tricky. Ah, the Scots: Scotland names its snow plows and their titles are amazing. This is long and extremely interesting: The Real-World Locations of 14 Sci-Fi Dystopias.

From Keith Ganey, and it's a brilliant article (also, Detectorists!): The Curse of the Buried Treasure. This is terribly, terribly sad: Years after they fought in Afghanistan, US troops watch as their children deploy to the same war. A remarkable bit of history: The Cheshire Minstrels.

From C. Lee, and it's another terrific article from the Digital Antiquarian: Ethics in Strategy Gaming, Part 2: Colonization. This is surprisingly fascinating: A History of Men's Sweaters. A companion piece: The feminist history of the cardigan. And an essay: The Sweater Curse. This would be incredible if true: Drug Reverses Age-Related Mental Decline Within Days. Everything about this is utterly fantastic: Deadly Premonition - Sinners Sandwich.

From Geoff Engelstein, and it's an excellent read: Why Are Great Athletes More Likely To Be Younger Siblings?
