We’re back on schedule this week (articles of the week are usually published on a Friday) and in a period where we’ve seen the US Supreme Court rule that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to define marriage between a man and a woman, and ex-Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi given a lengthy custodial sentence, here are my top ten articles this week. As always, thanks for reading and please feel free to comment. Please note, I don’t necessarily agree with all the views expressed here, but feel that they provoke thought and interest.
