New Yorker - 6/12/06

[elfin]

If you do not subscribe -- go get the newstand copy NOW. I hope it is still available. A huge issue with dispatches from all major wars. The ones from Iraq left me in tears and admiration for our troops trying to stay alive and help their comrades in this horrific and unnecessary horror. All sorts of "inside info" embedded in the essays.

If you subscribe to only one mag - make it this one and look for discounts on the web.

Sy Hersh is seen first here -- but not in this particular issue.

This issue does not seem to be on the web at newyorker.com yet and when they do post their issues, they do not include all from my experience.

1. Hendrik Herzberg is usually worth the price of admission alone

But so many other great articles.

3. I've torn out and saved most all of the "Talk of the Town"

essays that have stomped bushco over the past six years.

And do you remember the issue with the Twin Towers on the cover? All black, until you notice the towers are in the midst of that darkness.

4. Twin towers cover

although this web image does not do it justice at all

2. My copy is waiting at the post office.

Thank you for the heads up. It's a great periodical.

I don't remember how I got it, but my subscription was $25 a year and I got it for 3 years at that price.
