I love Heinrik Herzberg! He's almost worth the subscription price alone. But my favorite is Anthony Lane. His film reviews are hilarious.
I have a friend who doesn't "get" the cartoons. She never laughs at any of them, even when I explain them to her (actually, especially when I explain them to her). I guess they appeal to a certain sense of humor. The episode of Seinfeld where they satirized the New Yorker cartoons was brilliant. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "feste37" <feste37@> wrote: > > > > Interesting article in the New Yorker this week about > poverty: "Relatively > > Deprived: How Poor is Poor?" > > > > http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060403fa_fact > > > > I assume it's not yet illegal in the great Red State of Arizona to > read the New > > Yorker.
