Friday Links!
Leading off this week, an astonishing story: The Great Buenos Aires Bank Heist: They were an all-star crew. They cooked up the perfect plan. And when they pulled off the caper of the century, it made them more than a fortune—it made them folk heroes.
A sad story: The Dominican Baseball Factory.
This is a fantastic read: Uranium cubes reveal why the German nuclear project failed.
This is both painful and wonderfully written: ‘I perfected deception’: My secret life as a relapsed alcoholic.
Genuinely a top-five sports highlight of my entire life: Down 30-25 with 3.8 seconds to go. Whitesboro with the win to advance in the sectionals.
This is a tremendous read: Have I Befriended a Murderer? For five years, I’ve investigated a man convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death. Somewhere along the way, the line between journalism and friendship blurred.
This is riveting: Methodical/Mercurial: I need order and routine--just as much as I crave excitement and variety. What life like with both autism and ADHD?
From Wally, and it's and it's an interesting bit of New York City history: Restaurant Week: The city's favorite dining tradition started as a PR stunt for convention delegates, and thirty four years later every beneficiary still sits upstream of the plate.
