YOUR humble blogger is just back from a few days in Puebla, Mexico, which hosted an annual ideas conference that included writer Piper Kerman, filmmaker Werner Herzog, tiger mom Amy Chua, and a host of musicians, neuroscientists, and magicians.<\/p>\n

There was also an appearance by the Orquestra Esperanza Azteca, one of the many groups of kid orchestras inspired by El Sistema. (There is a new branch in LA, where I live.)<\/p>\n
