while in south andros, i re-discovered the new yorker. the bahamian's
home where we stayed was stocked with old new yorker magazines. the
writing and info in the articles were superb...so much so that i
subscribed.

i readily admit it ain't reader's digest or four-wheeler magazine, but
it'll do. some yankee offerings, and even some yankees, turn out to be
instructive and tolerable.

The distressing thing about "The New Yorker" is that its consistently
high standards of writing and editing lend credence to the vacuous
(though nevertheless unaccountably tenacious) myth of some sort of
cultural superiority pervading New Yorkers.....and/or their obligatory
purgatory.

It's a ****in' conundrum is what it is. Many another publication of
equal (and sometimes superior) merit fails to elicit the same kind of
bedizened luster to its place of origin.

giles
who has been there.....and left.....on the same day.
central park was way cool, though.

Okay - I'll amend my statement to read "superbly written Yankee bull****".

Don't have the patience to read 27 pages of "the Atchafalaya will
eventually be the new drainage of the Mississippi".

the article was worth the read...lots of fascinating local color and
nuggets in the midst of the science and engineering and politics of a
failing policy....

Attention Deficit Disorder ? That's too bad, it's a very well written
