Compelling Non-Fiction Extra Credit Opportunity

Hi. If you want to hear an incredible story, go to This American Life's website (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/507/confessions) and listen to the podcast "Confessions." Act I deals with an incredible story that is, essentially, a story about how Blink-like thinking went terribly wrong and it took some Freakonomics-like thinking to set things write (in some ways, the opposite scenario as what Gladwell chronicles in his story about the Getty). If you'd like to listen to it and write up a page-long reaction, you can earn up to 50 points extra credit.
