WILONSKY, ABRIDGED

|

Robert Wilonsky over at Unfair Park has been putting us all to shame, cranking out about 2,500 words. That’s a lot. For those without time to read them all, I offer this recap, which may become a semi-regular feature depending on my stamina:

NYT reports Irving-based DynCorp International has been doing a not-so-great job of training Iraqi police forces. (Link.)

–Plano entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari is going into space soon. (Link.)

WSJ has a story about churches using Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. Valley View Christian Church was one of them. (Link.)

–AP ran a story about those immigration protests not registering as many voters as many originally thought. Jim Schutze knew it all along. (Link.)

–Regent Highland Park Village is showing Lawrence of Arabia. Showtimes not listed. (Link.)

–Governor Rick Perry announced the state’s half-million contribution to the Trinity River Basin Environmental Restoration project. (Link.)
