In the New Yorker...
Front-Ranger:
Well I remember when Pauline Kael went gaga over Last Tango in Paris. It happens sometimes.

I loved the April 7 article about bills of mortality and death certificates. :D
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm working on the "duty article" now, the one about the chemical spill in West Virginia. :-\
Front-Ranger:
Actually I liked that article because I had heard the story on the radio and it brought up a lot of questions in my mind that the article answered.

It's just that I expect I've read essentially the same story in The New Yorker any number of times over the past thirty years. Just substitute anything else that's harmful to the environment and to people for "chemical spill" and we've all read this story already. I'm not that far into the article but I expect there isn't anything really new here. It's like the saying, "Dog bites man" isn't news; "Man bites dog" is news. The article is The New Yorker equivalent of cod liver oil: you read (take) it because it's good for you.
