In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
Well, isn't this ironic? I go from being something like six weeks behind to still waiting for the March 22 issue.
serious crayons:
I just the other day finished Jill Lepore's article on work from the Jan. 18 issue. It didn't tell me much beyond what I already knew, but it hit a lot of important points.
The most infuriating one was that the CEO of Dunkin' Donuts (which did those commercials featuring the overworked "time to make the donuts" guy) made something like $5 million that year, down from $10.4 million the previous year, and called a $15 minimum wage "absolutely outrageous."
Jeff Wrangler:
The March 22 issue arrived very timely in today's mail.
serious crayons:
I got mine yesterday, too. Looks like a good one! I see four or five articles in the ToC that look worth checking out. I read the Shouts & Murmurs last night, and it was actually funny.
Front-Ranger:
Yes, the last two S&Ms were better, and I think one of the reasons is that they're shorter and don't have as much room to "jump the shark". Possibly an editor is doing his/her job well.
