Lots of women wear black as a solution. What do you think of that? When I was writing my book, some friends of mine said, "You wear black. What do you need to know? This is the book." And yes, you can wear black, but it's so obvious. I have one friend who only wears black. She goes to the beach, and she looks like an Italian widow in mourning - she wears a black long-sleeve shirt and black pants. I mean, it's ridiculous. In the summer, you want to lighten up. You want to enjoy the season...
That's the logic, of course, which led to the $5 latte, which probably seemed equally outlandish when coffee was 50 cents a cup at most diners.

That's sadly true; a British colleague of mine once accidentally sent the wrong computer file to his editors in London, who dutifully ran his stale Gaza story without noticing that they'd run the same piece a week before. There is a numbing sameness to stories about Gaza, but Sacco's illustrations, backed by his methodical research, bring the Gaza of 1956 bleakly to life...
...first day of same-sex marriage licensing in D.C. belted out familiar melodies with political lyrics, bellowing "This is the final straw with God" to the tune of "Ants Go Marching." A few yards away, a group of supporters responded with an impromptu riff on "This Little Light of Mine," drowning their opponents as they sang, "Standing on the side of love, we're gonna see them shine...
