I could have sworn it was the running dream back again, except I knew from the clicking of the heels of my dress shoes on the shiny composite floor that this was painfully real. The taste of gin was on my lips. I had been scheduled to have dinner with some business people, but the […]

I have discovered a foolproof method of predicting elections, and it costs me nothing. I provide it here at no direct charge to the taxpayer. There is no such thing as a free lunch, so I have to insert the word “direct” in that sentence, a disclaimer required at the insistence of my legal staff. […]

The Thrilla in Manila happened in Cleveland last night, the golden challenger dancing and weaving against the wily pro. All he had to do was snug into the ropes, cover up, and not make a fatal mistake. Or maybe it was the fight in Zaire. I forget. I don’t know if you were as disoriented […]

The Hermit Crab Kingdom of North Korea opened up the airport to accept four hundred-odd Americans yesterday. The New York Philharmonic had been invited to town, part of the bizarre diplomatic game that we play with the leaders in the North. I can tell you precisely what they saw, since there are only so many […]
