You want that Paris link, don't you? OK, here. The New Yorker piece too? I'm afraid it's not online. But lots of other things are, so here's the September 26, 2005 TOC. Emdashes quiz: Find the two, count 'em two, references to the movie Gone With the Wind in the table of contents alone!

I'll be blogging the New Yorker Festival over at Beatrice this weekend, by the way. It's going to be a whole lot of fun, particularly since I hope to sleep before then. Seeing Steve Martin playing banjo with Earl Scruggs has a great chance of being the high point of my life thus far, and since I'm not one of those irony-addled sorts who insist they've never liked anything all that much as far as they know, except maybe Curb Your Enthusiasm, you can be sure I mean it.
