Looking back at what I did for Latitude News last week. I edited four solid pieces:

This in-depth look at Norway’s Breivik identity crisis.
a Q&A with Ruchir Sharma on his book Breakout Nations.

I dashed off these curated items on

The start of summer music festival season and how China’s push for renewable energy is shaking up the U.S. startup scene.

I gave a primary edit to these curated items on the

• dominance of foreign drivers at the Indy 500 (won yet again by a foreign driver);
• Zen and the art of arguing;
• Sweden’s egalitarian Twitter feed;
• Chinese women line up in search of a Zuckerberg of their own.

A good week of content. Onward!
