...border" [Sept. 21]. I wish them well. As an Anglo-Armenian I look forward to a just settlement for the atrocities committed around 1915. Similarly I would welcome accession of both Armenia and Turkey to the E.U. - subject to certain conditions. One of which must be an end to "almost a century of animosity between the two countries." My only quibble is your comment that "Armenians say 1.5 million were killed in a genocide" and that "the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish army" took place. It's not just the Armenians who say this...
...genres that superseded them. The Office borrows its mockumentary format and the device of interviewing characters in "confessionals" from reality TV. This is a perfect fit for a show that's about the mundane routine of work life, but the filming technique - in which the handheld camera reacts almost like another character - also lends itself to sitcom wackiness.

Yet Gervais, in films and on TV, keeps harping on his diminutive stature and lack of a heroic jawline. He might almost be begging for the viewer to reply, "No, you're not at all tremendously unattractive. The word for you, Ricky, would be cute...
...almost seven years later, smoking in bars and restaurants seems insane. It went from dictator Bloomberg's horrible idea to something you wouldn't think of doing anywhere, including Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong and Istanbul. Not only do I go to far more bars now, but I even bring my baby. Which is something Bloomberg should probably also make illegal...
