Highlights from Harper's Weekly

Good stuff, as usual, in the latest email newsletter, "Harper's Weekly." Here's a sample:

The Middlebury Institute, a liberal advocacy group opposing the Iraq War, and the League of the South, which displays a Confederate battle flag on its banner, met in Tennessee to discuss their shared goal of secession from the Union. A white family in Florida found three burning crosses in its back yard. An autopsy could not reveal the identity of a baby found in a Big John's Pickled Sausage jar and left in a Florida cane field, and researcher Craig Venter announced that he has constructed a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals, creating the first artificial life form on Earth.
