Such a fine sight to see
It's Winona Ryder, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford,
slowin' down to take a look at me

I'm about ready to give up on the Jan. 4 & 11 issue. I'd jumped ahead and read Adam Gopnik on keeping the Republic, Lawrence Wright on "The Plague Year," and Vinson Cunningham on Thomas Jefferson's abridgment of the Bible. I started the article on newsletters, but it's not holding my interest.

I finished Rachel Kushner's article about her young life in San Francisco. I found it sad. I was interested in what she wrote about the hustlers on Polk Street because something like 30-35 years ago I read a story about the young hustlers on Polk Street and never forgot it.

You have more patience than I did. What did you find sad about it? The fact that she wrote about people who were down and out and/or had addictions and/or other problems?
