Sunday morning roundup

Chicago makes strides against sex trafficking.

The faux-controversy over the Peace Cafe makes me very sad as a Jew and as a theatergoer.

Corporate social responsibility's evolution toward a focus on shared value.

A stomach cancer survivor on enjoying food.

A dissident Chinese filmmaker talks about his art. This line may not be article's most relevant, but it makes a lot of sense:
“The Russians, that culture, they really respect knowledge, they respect art,” he said. “You can feel that the intellectuals of that culture are tough. They have backbone. They really are thinking of their people.”
It's really true--it's a society-wide appreciation.

I was horrified by Ryan Lizza's latest profile, but then, this morning, realized there were situations when it's good to consider whether a law is unchristian.

Can we get over women's clothing? Why is she distracting? How does that language shift the responsibility for the distraction. What was the point of this column on wardrobe malfunctions? Who the f* cares?
