- The publishing of the Pentagon Papers is remembered as one of the greatest events in the history of investigative journalism. Now that reporter Neil Sheehan has died, New York Times finally revealed the story behind one of its greatest stories.

- A related read: Hollywood Reporter on ‘Collective’—the documentary which is Romania's official submission in the international Oscar category. Now, this is a far more inspiring story of journalistic heroism.
- Also in the New York Times: An excellent review of ‘Bollywood Wives.’
- We highly recommend Nisha Susan’s delightful riff on liar moonjis (faces) in Mint Lounge.
