Tuesday assorted links

1. Laura Miller on Elena Ferrante.

2. In praise of law reviews and jargon-filled academic writing.  And more on the marginal value of a good teacher.

3. Why do people do good spontaneously?  And Harvard responds to complaints about its faculty health planMore on the crack team of Chinese monkeysDramatic but not ridiculous claims about China.

4. Scott Sumner dissents on reach for yield.  I don’t think easier money will boost the American economy right now.  So I think you just get a loanable funds effect and then possibly a reach for yield.

5. Peak things?

6. “The world’s longest yard sale runs for nearly 700 miles along a mostly vertical line connecting Alabama and Michigan, from the first Thursday in August through the first Sunday. It’s called the 127 Sale, since most of it takes place along US Route 127, but that road ends in Chattanooga.
