The Jerusalem Post has a really interesting piece on some of the behind the scenes stuff in the Entebbe operation. Check it out.

Today I have my first post-book article out in Salon. (and it currently has the “cover” position) It’s yet another in the constant stream of Obama-and-the-Jews pieces, but hopefully there is still some added value in it.

1. Indiana’s Jewish Post & Opinion has published a very kind review of Shut Up, I’m Talking.

2. Daniel B., international vagabond and Friend of the Blog — who was recently described by a bookseller as my “creepy friend” — has a funny little post about the dangers of flying. Read it if you want to live.

This past weekend I was on The Bob Edwards show on NPR on both Saturday and Sunday (and on Satellite radio a few days earlier). Mr. Edwards lived up to his reputation as a fantastic interviewer, and I really liked the result.
