Benjamin Nugent: I Had Asperger Syndrome, Briefly, from the New York Times.
This is one of a series of posts at the NY Times about the new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the fifth (DSM-5 for short), which narrows the definition of autism (and Asperger syndrome) significantly. This particular post is well worth a read. (Thanks, Molly.)

I don’t know why not. It’d be interesting, at least.

Reaching for Stars When Space Thrilled and Paranoia Ruled - an article in the New York Times on the upcoming book, “Another Science Fiction: Advertising the Space Race 1957-1962.”
There’s some great stuff in the “interactive viewer”, and unlike the Wired ads, which inspire more mirth than admiration, a lot of these are actually beautiful. I’m looking forward to getting a copy of the book.
