New York Times reader's log Tuesday

Today I read a cool profile piece on Buzunesh deba a marathon runner with her eyes on the New York marathon.  I like how they spent time with her showing her average day, but also go into some of her past, plus it relates back to the audience because it's the New York marathon.  You could also see some difficulty for her, because she had difficulty staying in New York.

Another article much sadder, but also interesting was the article on the death of a chinese soldier, which raises the question of whether it was murder or suicide.  It was a tough article to read, as it was very sad and you really see the sad reaction his family has in dealing with this.
