That doesn't surprise me.
Jeff Wrangler:
Over lunch today I became happily immersed in the story about the Via Alpina (April 11). :)

Artisanal alert! Check out Dana Goodyear's "Mezcal Sunrise" in the Annals of Alcohol series in the April 4 issue!! I wonder if "artisanal" is code for "hand-picked worms". :laugh:
Unfortunately, the article is a long one and I don't know if I'll get around to reading it and finding out, with my current crazy schedule.
The Shouts & Murmurs page was sort of interesting, on grains that are poised to steal the spotlight from quinoa. Also, "The End of Ice" is personally interesting to me since I have visited two of the world's greatest glaciers, the Khumbu in Nepal and the Mer de Glače in France. Finally, I avidly read, "Operatic Startups" by Alex Ross because of our friend Meryl. He mentioned the "semi-resurrected NYC Opera" so that was semi-good to hear about.
They seem to be tinkering with the layout again. I have to grudgingly admit that it looks better. I'm a New Yorker purist; I don't like to see change.

The article "Beautiful Monsters" in the April 18 issue is misnamed. It is a biography of Niki de Saint Phalle, who was a fascinating person. But the title doesn't mention her name, just "Letter from Italy" (she wasn't Italian) and "Art and obsession in Tuscany" (she worked in several countries). It was more compelling than any bio I've read in The New Yorker in a long time.
Meryl:
Here's a New Yorker article about an event that I was a part of a couple of weeks ago:

And here's proof I was there! ;D
