Summary: Orion editors Chip Blake, Jennifer Sahn, and Andrew Blechman discuss the November/December 2011 issue. They reflect on Bill McKibben's column about the need for small and many versus big and brittle; the reign of the One Percenters and how income inequality is stunting cultural evolution; Andrei Codrescu's unexpected move to the Ozarks and what he's found there; Sy Montgomery's unusual ability to get cuddly with octopuses; and Michael Branch's ruminations on the presidential pardoning of turkeys.
