Buying the New Yorker 1996 - page 82

There's tons of Gorham Chantilly in stock at Beverly Bremer Silver Shop. There's tons of flatware, period. They say "We have gifts for the Grad and gifts for Dad, gifts to make Mom's day and that something special for Baby."

Of course in the mid-nineties there was some conversation about how The New School should change its name, as it was over seventy-five years old.

Press has gone out of business. They are no longer accepting manuscripts. Sorry. This was their website. It's gone now. Sorry.

"And they called it Paradise." Apparently they still do.

I'm pretty sure that the London Theatre News is out of business as it was based out of New York. The internet pretty much killed these little newsletters, but hell, you can go here. Look! One click and we see that The Globe is putting on something called "Under the Black Flag" and it has these reviews: "Uneven production " (Evening Standard); "Confusing play" (The Times). Heck, book me a flight. I'm up for it.
