It feels actually like a funny and intersting review and I saved it for Iąm
very interested by some of the stories...and will welcome any further
comments about any story mentioned by any Rara-Avians...since I have not
read any of those...
Of particular interest to me are the story of Vu-Tran...(which one is it?),
David Corbettąs, Randy Rohn and Ron Carlsonąs (where does it take
place?)...and Kristin Kąs seems wacky enough...
How come though, such an interesting article, lies in a Murdoch rag like the
Śwealky stand-hardą, where medieval though reigns supreme and is exemplified
by Śmanaging editorą (i.e. Stasi enforcer) Claudia Henderson, who majored in
it (medieval thought) at Berkeley...
Donąt get alarmed...the Montois is not trying to start another wars of
words...but really...it is strange...and the beautiful bottle of Valréas,
Côtes-du-Rhônes Villages, Cuvée Prestige, 2007, that I am currently
decimating, has got my Śpapillesą (Śtaste budsą is a very very poor
translation and unfortunately the only word offered...), all worked up...
In any case, any info on these stories (or or any of the others, by
extension) will be most welcome...
Montois
PS: for those of you who might have touched both the journalism world and
the Śmedia/communications...ą one...isnąit true that Śmanaging editorsą at
papers are a bit like Śproduction managersą in the production/film world:
primary function is to bitch, cut, reduce, slash, get-a-deal, underpay,
bastardize, cheapen...anything to save a quarter...I know the prod.film part
because I hired people who used to be like that and that was the criteria
and, it worked...!...but Iąm curious because several of my journalist/writer
friends sneer as heavily about Śmanaging editorsą than we sneer at
Śproduction managersą...Just curious...
