Abstracts from The New Yorker
The New Yorker now has online abstracts, just like scientific journals. From the abstract of an article by Patricia Marx:
The writer spies from her living-room window a multitude of colorful puffy parkas from Pucci (24 East 64th Street). The writer then calls Dr. Andrej Romanovsky to ask how the body detects cold. New York is the city of coats. Real coats, not car coats, for in this town, we walk. . . . Still worried about the coming cold? There is always one thing left to do: Miami (U.S. Airways; flights as low as $59 one-way).
Surely this is better than the article itself. Just as brandy is better than the wine it is distilled from.

If this tragic taste-bud dysfunction is a result of ingesting flax oil, I’m gonn’a’ have to rethink this whole Shangri-la thing
