A thought on financial risk "People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage." - John Kenneth Galbraith

Embalming, up close and personal From the Morning News webzine, a fascinating read on what exactly happens during embalming. We're surrounded by dead bodies in pop culture: the CSI franchises alone have kind of inured us to autopsies, for instance, so much so that it's no longer shocking to see a body sliced apart for forensic study. This essay doesn't have gory pictures of any kind, and relies only on words for the full effect.
