OOC: the Rolling Stone article
Leah's story on the mutant safehouses (shelters!) is out on newsstands this week in the current issue of Rolling Stone. It's blurbed on the cover - title only, without the author's name - and it's one of the major stories, spanning a good several pages with photographs. The writing is straightforward investigative journalism, without much editorializing either way on the shelter concept and implemention, and includes excerpts from interviews with Warren Worthington III, Dr. Jean Grey, a few NYC shelter volunteers (anonymous!), law-enforcement folks, and so on. It's fair and balanced, and not in a creepy propaganda way.
The author is pissed as hell (though not surprised, in the end) that an editor changed the title, from "A Roof over Their Heads" to "A Roof over Our Heads," but is otherwise pleased with it. Just ask her. When I have time, I'll slap up some of the writing; it's mostly ready in my head, but I haven't had time to work on it.
