...have never heard of the Monkey Wrench Gang-unless you read the 1975 novel by maverick writer and nature lover Edward Abbey, who introduced the world to a fictional collection of green misfits waging a guerrilla war against industrialization in the American West. They sabotage bulldozers and construction sites, burn billboards and destroy dams, all to keep their beloved Southwestern desert pristine. Think of it as muscular environmentalism, a world apart from the wonky work on climate change that now defines the mainstream green movement...

Aphrodisiacs. For the traditional lover's feast, you can't do better than the down-to-earth Flex Mussels on New York's Upper East Side, where the motto is "Grab, Eat, Repeat."

On Valentine's Day the restaurant is offering a 4-course menu with an oyster theme...

Once upon a time Halder wrote a novel that made a rather romantic case for euthanasia (a beautiful woman is assisted toward death by her devoted lover). The book has been discovered by the Nazis, who, of course, believed in killing not just Jews but also the insane, the mentally deficient and the hopelessly crippled. Hitler himself has read and approved Halder's work, the writer is told. Could he perhaps write a little essay summarizing his views - nothing hysterical, something of literary quality, for distribution by the state...

...that. I believe he also said that every rock band is based on either Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. I'm pretty sure that's what he said. I'll be honest: I'm a lover of Klosterman. Even when he goes over the line, I love it. I read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and then I just finished his collection of articles, Klosterman IV, which had a great Britney Spears story...
