Only at this venue do sexy Mercedes ML320s park alongside dowdy '85 Crown Victoria's. Here, young children celebrating birthdays and flippant teens clothed in Tommy gear, fraternal organizations and prominent accounting firms mingle and play side by side. God bless America...
...somewhat entertaining read to the Basquiat fan who is willing to disregard Hoban's lack of knowledge about art, or to the fan of the 1980s who enjoys tales of decadence and back-stabbing.

The Winter Olympics are a display of human athletic talents pitted against harsh elements. I am a huge fan of the Winter Games and often bring my books to the couch in the common room and watch for hours. When I can't catch the prime-time coverage, I sometimes stay up for the late-night coverage...
