NY Times Idea Lists

In 2005 I ran across the following page from the NY Times Magazine. It's called the "Year in Ideas", and from the prose describing the article-collection, the magazine ha an equivalent list for every year going back to 2001. The summary from the 2008 article sums things up pretty nicely:

Welcome back to the Year in Ideas issue. For the eighth year in a row, we have compiled an alphabetical digest of ideas, from A to Z (almost), that helped make the previous 12 months, for better or worse, what they were.


The lists are fascinating, and interesting, so here they are (at least back to 2003):
  1. 2003 Year in Ideas
  2. 2004 Year in Ideas
  3. 2005 Year in Ideas
  4. 2006 Year in Ideas
  5. 2007 Year in Ideas
  6. 2008 Year in Ideas
I wonder what 2009's list will contain...
