...wanted to upgrade my seats but couldn’t find any scalpers outside the stadium. I assumed that I would be bombarded by these fine gentlemen just like at Kenmore Square, where you can always count that lovely horde of unshaven white males in their thirties, clad in Adidas warmups with bling-bling on their necks, uttering from their two-word lexicon consisting of “Buying?” and “Selling...
...consider a few. Most importantly, there is no crisis in Social Security.

Since then, Social Security has run a massive surplus, invested in a Trust Fund of iron clad Treasury bonds that will be tapped in 2018 when the Baby Boomers cause Social Security to run a deficit.

Depth was not his specialty, but as a snarling, seductive wild child--half Elvis, half Sid Vicious--he captured the ebullient superficiality of the age. When he faded from the scene...
