#Sidney's Picks: Twinkies, Coal Miners, Sex Workers, and Pain
- The charge that unions killed Hostess is as fake as the “creme” center of a Twinkie.
- Why haven’t any new mine safety regulations come out of the Upper Big Branch disaster?
- Marie Hald wins College Photographer of the Year for her photo essay on the daily life of Bonnie Cleo Anderson, a Danish sex worker who plies her trade legally to support her family.
- Ashlyn Blocker is a 12-year-old girl with congenital insensitivity to pain, that might sound convenient, but as Justin Heckert reports, without pain as a guide, even the simplest task becomes a high-stakes obstacle course.
