Catch Diane Ackerman in the New York Times

If you fell under the spell of Diane Ackerman ’70 by reading the excerpt from her latest book, One Hundred Names for Love, in our July/August issue, you can read her a little more regularly these days. She’s been a guest columnist for the New York Times this month, with a piece inspired by the turtles who slowed down traffic at Kennedy International Airport and another one that melds her research into the senses with a recent report on consumer research.

I’m hoping her columns, which are running in the Opinion section, will continue for a while. If you’re not a New York Times subscriber, this is a great way to use up a few of the 20 free clicks you get every month.
