• Ad copywriter Phyllis K. Robinson died at 89. She came up with the immortal slogan, “You don’t have to be Jewish to love Levy’s Real Jewish Rye.” [The Awl]

• The world asked for another profile of Marty Peretz in winter (and in Israel), and the call was answered. [NYT Magazine]

• An interesting take on the Palestine Papers from Matt Duss. [Wonk Room]
