The chief executive has been recovering well and is expected to return to work on schedule later this month, though he may work part-time initially. Jobs Had Liver Transplant [WSJ]

WSJ: Jobs had a liver transplant
The excellent conservative writer George Will has an amusing, if very old-mannish rant up about denim, which to him is an emblem of America’s disordered national psyche. There’s a great bit in the middle, echoing a line from a Daniel Akst piece from the WSJ: Long ago, when James Dean and Marlon Brando wore it, denim was, Akst says, “a symbol of youthful defiance.” Today, Silicon Valley billionaires are rebels without causes beyond poses, wearing jeans when introducing new products. Akst’s summa contra denim is grand as far as it goes, but it only scratches the surface of this blight on Americans’ surfaces. Denim is the infantile uniform of a nation in which entertainment frequently features childlike adults… There’s a good response from Bleat. Yes, it’s really Akst’s thought with the dial up to 11. But there is no picture of Akst in a bow tie that you just know is being worn with a matching elastic belt.
