An article excerpt Cecilia gave us gave another article excerpt:
>... The essayist Louis Menand declared the death of his kind in The New Yorker
>not long ago, acknowledging that ''Hollywood movies and rock 'n' roll
>proved to be far more powerful weapons in the global struggle for hearts
>and minds than the great books had ever been.''
Being behind in my New Yorker reading, this caught my eye. I figure I may
not be the only one who is interested in this article (which I haven't read
yet), it is in the 15 Oct 2001 issue of the New Yorker, page 202. Online,
it's still in a google cache (i.e. won't last long) at:
