Today's New Yorker

I have a rule: When the New Yorker arrives I will read one article without putting it down. Otherwise I will never read anything in it.

Today I just read a beautiful article on 90-year old Louis Auchincloss. The writer is Larissa MacFarquhar.

I'll check to see whether it's on the web. If so, I will put in on my blog.

I always was "bored" by Louis Auchincloss. I still am. But not by Larissa MacFarquhar.

The depiction of the upper eastside and attitude, and the '50's, brings back memories of my years at Yale.

Wonderful reading on a snowy afternoon in Cincinnati.
