#PhillyFive What We’re Reading: Sept. 18, 2014
What we're reading this morning.
1) What exactly are they protesting up in Tacony, anyway? Anarchists face off against racist skinheads on Torresdale Avenue. "What led to this Northeast Philly gathering of slurs and anger is as confusing as it is stupid,"concludes Philly Weekly's Randy LoBasso.
2) Is every lie "a sin?" Maybe not. When is honesty not the best policy and deception morally correct? More often than you might think, as it turns out. Knowledge@Wharton asks the hard questions.
3) A dozen puffins will get you 800 mackerel. Planet Money examines the very weird economy of zoos.
4) See Paypal founder Peter Thiel speak at this Arts + Business Council event Sept. 22. Tony Abraham of Technical.ly Philly has the bird's-eye lowdown.
5) Gearing up for Snooki's wedding, a North Jersey town passes a restrictive ordinance. Kristie Cattafi of NorthJersey.com has the rumpus.
