Jeffrey Sterling | I Was a CIA Whistleblower. Now I'm a Black Inmate. Here's How I See American Racism.
Jeffrey Sterling, The Intercept
Sterling writes: "I do not like prison. No one should. It is a strenuous, unceasing effort to cope with the ordeal of being incarcerated at a federal prison. I find myself identifying with the title character from Shakespeare's 'Richard II' when he laments his own effort to adjust to confinement by wondering, 'I have been studying how I may compare this prison where I live unto the world.'"

At the New York Times, the Blind Lead the Blind
Ian Millhiser, ThinkProgress
Millhiser writes: "Liz Spayd is the New York Times' Public Editor, a role that ostensibly makes her the readers' representative within the paper's newsroom. As her predecessor, Margaret Sullivan, wrote, the Public Editor is 'a foreign agent in the newsroom.' Her role is to challenge her colleagues. To examine their mistakes and, by shining a light on them, help improve the paper's reporting."

Alexandra Sifferlin, TIME
Sifferlin writes: "The sugar industry has a long history of skewing nutrition science, a new report suggests. By combing through archival documents from the 1950s and 1960s, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), report that the sugar industry sponsored research that turned attention away from the sweetener's link to heart disease and toward fat and cholesterol as the bigger culprits."
