Jeff Wrangler:
You can skip the March 22 article on polygamy and polyamory. It's not very good. For one thing, it's too long.
Jeff Wrangler:
Well, I've finished March 22.

What parts did you like?
On your advice, I skipped most of the polyamory piece. Not only is it long, but I got into it a little way and realized I'm just not that interested in that topic, though I'm sure plenty of people are.
How's the piece on the New Left? I usually like Louis Menand. Years ago I read a few things of his I really liked, then I lived in New York in 1993-94 and found you could look his name up in the phone book. Not that I wanted to stalk him or anything but I was amazed you could just look up famous people and there they were, along with their addresses. Not that Louis Menand is a household name, but his was a name I knew in 1993. I'm sure I looked up a few people even more famous, but he is one I remember.

That's pretty amazing that Louis Menand was in the phone book. I don't know that I recognized the name back in them days, or maybe I just don't remember recognizing it. I liked his piece on the New Left. (Wasn't Jane Fonda married to Tom Hayden once?)
But I liked the Jane Mayer--I always read her, and anything that makes Trump look bad.
I liked Jennifer Gonnerman on the hotel, too.

Yes. In fact, I saw a Jane Fonda documentary that said Jane Fonda started her famous workout business as a way to raise money for her and Hayden's activism.
