Two articles worth a read

Two very interesting posts I read today.  One is pretty short and is an encapsulation of one of my favorite topics du jour -- the eventual death of suburban America (as we know it).  I'll post something regarding my own thoughts on this topic in the near future.  The other is pretty long and it involves the NCAA and the myth of the "student-athlete."  It is a great piece of journalism.  I've long thought our colleges should pay athletes that play for their sports teams.  This article only bolsters that opinion.
