Monsieur, Susan can certainly write, and she is a master of the quotation mark, but where's the beef?

For my money, if I'm going to be reading leftist editorials, and I certainly wouldn't call that *THING* an essay -- I'd prefer

espn.go.com

... In times like these, when the War-drums roll and the bugles howl for blood, I think of Vince Lombardi, and I wonder how he would handle it. ... Good old Vince. He was a zealot for Victory at all costs, and his hunger for it was pure -- or that's what he said and what his legend tells us, but it is worth noting that he is not even in the top 20 in career victories.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed....

But each to his own.

Im still waiting for my copy of the subject NYer, but I heard some rumblings about Paul Newman, Susan Sontag, and others, disturbing the heavenly unity of the American Nation - "cant they just leave us alone" kind of opinion.

You'll appreciate the following ref

A fellow country man of mine, a VERY unconfortable person (g). Zeit had it in this week's number and US deserves it too.
