Summary:
All I can think of as a personal introduction to this collection of
columns is to say: "I wish I were a newspaper columnist." Readers of
the lively and provocative essays collected here will readily
understand Lionel Tiger's enthusiasm, and probably wish his wish were
fulfilled. Written for the New York Press. Daily News, New Yorker,
and Wall Street Journal in 1998-2002, they range from condemnation of
greedy political and stock-option malefactors to celebration of Cleo
Laine, astringent reflection upon mass tourism to fond reminiscence
of Pierre Trudeau, grousing about the American legal profession to
praise for the New York subway system, discussion of contemporary
American eating habits to commentary on "the fatuity of much of
modern feminism." There is wit, wisdom, and entertainment aplenty
here for the apes of every metropolis.
