I'm reading that article too. I'll start hunting around. There's a British pub here that boasts the largest collection of single malt Scotches in the US. I'd check there but I heard they were shut down recently for license violations. >:(

We must remember that it's Eye-lah and Brook-laddy. ;D
Incidentally, I've been wondering about Kelefa Sanneh since I started seeing his by-line in The New Yorker. I forgot that he wrote the article about Jeremiah Wright.

At lunch today I read Dexter Filkins' article in the Feb. 25 issue. I'm glad I did; I didn't know that in the Syrian civil war, Hezbollah is fighting for the Assad regime.

I've had to go back and read some of the issues from over the holidays because I was too busy and crazy to read them when they came out. I'm currently reading "Utopian for Beginners" by Joshua Foer in the Dec 24-Dec 31 double issue. It's great...I love any article about words, language, and linguists. This issue also has "Recall of the Wild" by Elizabeth Kolbert and an article about being gay in Africa.

Pints Pub has reopened; yay! I was there yesterday and noticed that they have not one but four Bruichladdiches on the menu. I was attending a meeting that had a test as part of it, and was driving besides so I wasn't able to partake. Here's the website for the place: http://www.pintspub.com/
