Well, the Washington Post isn't my favorite newspaper but it's readily
available for breakfast reading. Otherwise there's hardly any need to
subscribe since it and everything else practically is on the net free.

The new McElroy was not yet available at the neighborhood Borders this

I mangled Mr. Moore's name It's Steven Moore. He a regular on the Gaddis
list. Very helpful on matters Gaddis, of which he is an expert.He's the
person Jonathan Franzen was a bit condescending to in his New Yorker
