I still don't have it but I think lately they typically come on Fridays or Saturdays (used to be Tuesdays).

Well, I just saw the postal carrier walk right past my house, so I won't be getting my New Yorker or any of the usual exciting bills and real estate agents' pitches and cards with home-repair coupons. Or even that weekly packet of something -- I guess it's ads and coupons but I can't say for sure because I never so much as glance at it before throwing it in the recycling.
Meanwhile, however, I found this, which identifies all the people pictured and says what happened to them. It was interesting although I thought some of the descriptions of their deaths were too brief.
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm feeling uneasy about my job right now, so this was probably not the best time to have read Nathan Heller on homelessness and Ariel Levy on the novelist Lionel Shriver (in particular, the first three paragraphs). (June 1 issue)
