On Bruce Wasserstein Dead at 61
I love the detail that his Dec. 25th, 1947 birthdate caused his mother to wonder openly if he was the Messiah. Must have been fun for the siblings.

On Calvin Trillin For Mayor Of Awesome Town
Yeah, he's adorable and all, but does he think the magazine miraculously appears on paper every week without people hounding creative and playing "traffic cop"? I have to imagine saying something like this aggravates numerous people who put in a lot of hours at the New Yorker who DON'T write wry pieces about how good the nachos are in Kansas City. It's not a mimeographed newsletter.
