This week marks Slate's first anniversary. To celebrate the occasion--and to give you something to read during our week off--we've assembled a sampler of pieces from that first year for you to enjoy. Click on the title (or icon) to view the article in its original Web form, or click on "Word.doc" for a printable Microsoft Word version of the piece.
Of course, the full year's contents are available in "The Compost."
