NY Times Reading Log Monday 26/9

On the front page today, there was an article about Saudi-Arabia, that women are as of last Sunday allowed to vote and allowed to held public offices. I liked the news, and the article was well-written, certainly because the journalist points out the contradiction that women are probably not very likely to run for a public office, for they legally need a male chaperone for about every public action and they are not permitted to drive.
The Bronx article, also on the front page, was nice because I have just been in New York this weekend. I liked the delayed lede at the Mexican gangs-article on page 4.
The in-dept article about trial and the US judiciary system on page A18, I believe to be of great social significance, raising awareness about how certain things are done in your home country and sparking discussion is one of the things that 'good' news should do.
