New York: too damned many employees to count? (Seriously: Make it your end-of-summer project to read The Power Broker

* * *
Jamie Moyer: too old to feel pain?
* * *
Pale Fire: too damned good of a poem to be trapped in a great novel?
* * *
Bicycles: too damned traumatic for one girl to handle?
* * *
Reality TV: too damned intrusive and stealing a piece of your soul?
* * *
Young Jeff Bezos: too damned clever to be kind?
* * *
Alan Moore: too damned sick of superheroes to keep away from spoken word albums?
* * *
Penn and Teller: too damned innovative to play in New York?
* * *
Great magazine articles: too damned many of them for me to read? (I think I’ve only read four of these; I’d have put Ron Rosenbaum’s The Devil in Long Island on it, too.)
