gladwell dot com -- The Naked Face:
"He was about seventeen. He had the gun in his right hand. He was on the curb side. I was on the other side, facing him. It was just a matter of who was going to shoot first. I remember it clear as day. But for some reason I didn't shoot him.
"Yarbrough is an ex-marine with close-cropped graying hair and a small mustache, and he speaks in measured tones. Is he a danger? Sure. He's standing there with a gun and what person in his right mind does that facing a uniformed armed policeman? If you looked at it logically, I should have shot him. But logic had nothing to do with it. Something just didn't feel right. It was a gut reaction not to shoot -- a hunch that at that exact moment he was not an imminent threat to me.
"So Yarbrough stopped, and, sure enough, so did the kid. He pointed a gun at an armed policeman on a dark street in South Central L.A., and then backed down."

This Man Touched My Parrot -- Would you take your brand-new, adorable pet to a quirky veterinarian who lived like a hobbit?:
"The clinic is a lush and overgrown home of a divine hobbit. It is a funky all-wood nook packed with crazy foliage and peculiar collectibles -- a deliriously adorable assortment of knickknacks absolutely everywhere -- figurines and drawings and skulls; fairies and elves and funny monsters and gargoyles and eccentric, wonderful artwork, much of it by the doc's own hand. "
