I, the juror

The Slice Blog will operate a bit differently this week.

I report for jury duty this morning.

But each evening during my term of service, I will file a blog post on that day’s justice system activities. Won’t that be fun?

Maybe not. Still, I think those who work for newspapers are required to write about their jury duty experience. It’s addressed in some little-known codicil, I believe.

Anyway, here’s what I am bringing with me to pass some time. It just came out.

I’ve long been interested in the disconnect between Rockwell’s image and the decidedly not-sunny reality of his life. And I have been reading Deborah Solomon in The New York Times for ages. So I’m looking forward to her book.
