Friday Links!

 Leading off this week, a riveting article (that's been turned into a book by the same author): A Teen’s Fatal Plunge Into the London Underworld

Even though David Foster Wallace's writing leaves me entirely cold, this is a wonderful interview: Consider the Sister: Amy Wallace has spent two decades guarding the human her brother was—against a world that prefers David Foster Wallace as a puzzle. 

This is absolutely excellent: Rights require money.

A tremendous article from the Texas Monthly archives: The FBI Agent Who Can’t Stop Thinking About Waco.

From Wally, and it's shocking: Florida surgeon ‘devastated’ over death of patient after removing liver instead of spleen. A master ham slicer? The Man Who Cuts the Perfect Slice of Ham. Long and interesting: ‘10 minutes of nirvana’: 52 writers on the best sandwich of their life. I've been to zero: The 100 Best Restaurants in New York City. A puzzling use case: I, robe-ot: the android monk working to reboot the faith of South Korea’s Buddhists. If you ever wanted to know about knots, I've got you covered: We've Got The Knots (animated knots).
