One thing we\u2019ll try to do this weekend is catch Becoming Warren Buffett<\/strong>, a documentary from HBO. The New Yorker\u2019s James Surowiecki<\/a> says the documentary, made with the cooperation of Buffett and his family, \u201cdeals with Buffett the businessman and investor, but it\u2019s Buffett the man and his complicated, and often difficult, relationships with the people he loved most that are the film\u2019s real subject. We are still treated to the greatest hits of Buffett\u2019s business career\u2026 But what makes \u2018Becoming Warren Buffett\u2019 far more interesting than a simple hagiography is the exploration of Buffett\u2019s personal life\u2026 Buffett was born to be great at investing. He had to work really hard to be good at living.<\/strong>\u201d You can catch the promo here<\/a> (runtime 01:02).<\/p>\n

In the mood for something less true-to-life?<\/strong> Season six of Suits<\/strong><\/a> is back from its mid-season break \u2014 we\u2019ve seen promos on OSN, but we\u2019re watching on iTunes. It\u2019s a very solid pickup from the mid-season cliffhanger that saw one of the lead characters leave the series. And if you\u2019re not bothered by trans-anything or same-[redacted] love, Sense8<\/strong><\/a> on Netflix from the Watchowskis<\/a> (who brought you the Matrix trilogy) is simply stunning. One season is out now, as is a special double-length Christmas episode that sets up season two, which is set to drop in early May.<\/p>\n

Also, rugby\u2019s Six Nations championship<\/strong> starts on Saturday, with the first match between Scotland and Ireland kicking off at 4:25pm and England versus France to follow at 6:50pm.<\/p>\n

Looking for a book? We started NYT correspondent Steven Lee Myers\u2019 The New Tsar: The rise and reign of Vladimir Putin<\/strong><\/a>on the flight back to Cairo this week, and it is so far entirely engaging \u2014 and neither hagiography nor hack job.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also delighted that Aly Shalakany\u2019s biweekly Beyond the Rubicon column returns this week<\/strong> with a fascinating look at one cash-based nation\u2019s decision to suddenly make two banknotes worthless overnight. There are plenty of lessons for Egypt there, and a bonus link to a mini-episode of Planet Money that we had missed.<\/p>\n

Until then, we\u2019ll keep our football hats on and enjoy this video of the Egyptian national team celebrating<\/a> in the locker room after the Afcon semifinal win over Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
