Wednesday morning roundup

Amos Oz on the limits of the use of force. Harold Meyerson on the limits of political manipulation, among other things. Check out the Beinart piece if you haven't already (I linked to it last week).

Courtland Milloy on the national reaction to the President's Gulf disaster response. More from Toles.

Emotions as we age.

Backyard-raised eggs don't always taste better.

I can tell you from personal experience that organic pumpkin tastes distinctly better than its conventional counterpart. Whichever your preference, though, brace yourself for another possible pumpkin shortage.

we're going to plant our pumpkin seeds tonight! our neighbor mistakenly mowed over my ones that were growing nicely; I'll find a better spot this time.
