Here and there some interesting news; I’ve cut a few of them to put in books, but on the whole these are puff pieces for the books. Their tone is that of sophisticated nostalgia, and that tends to get rather stuffy and cloying at times. One can take only so much of the Good Old Days before one wants to toss the whole pompous mess into the crapper. * to ** (2003) This is the last of the reviews from 2003)
