(1) Adam Davidson, A World Without Wall Street. Heaven on earth? Not exactly. The 99 per cent would be a whole lot poorer, and there definitely wouldn't be any good goat cheese.

My comment: The author's definition of Wall Street ("The country's largest investment banks, commercial banks and a few big insurance companies (what we generally refer to as Wall Street)") may be overbroad, is basically the financial sector. My definition of Wall Street is investment banks on or near Wall Street; I will not call hedge funds investment banking or wall Street.

(2) Ariel Kaminer, Must I Tell My Fiance? (in the Ethicist column)

(donating eggs)

(3) Hilary Greenbaum and Dana Rubinstein, Who Made That? (Chinese Takeout Container).
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/1 ... quely-american.html
("The Chinese-takeout container, with its Japanese-influenced origami folds, is a uniquely American invention. On Nov 13, 1894, in Chicago, the inventor Frederick Weeks Wilcox patented a version of what he called a 'paper pail'")

(a) An oyster pail (used to be wooden, nowadays plastic) is just a ROUND bucket of various heights--usually without a lid. Check Images.google.com.
(b) Box O' Joe (R for registered trademark). Dunkin' Donuts, undated.

("Fold-Pak manufactures the finest take-out packaging for the foodservice and grocery industry")
