...kills smoke. It clears sinuses. It refuses to catch fire, and it might as well be medicated. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's an Altoid. The origin of the unassuming peppermints' curious strength has baffled consumers for almost two centuries. Small, round and chalky, they threaten to burst from their Britishly metal tins. Set us free, their vaguely hospitalic aroma commands. Pop us in. Should you respond to their bidding, keep this in mind: the Altoid is a deadly, deadly breath freshener. Though it may leave neophytes running for water, however, the Altoid remains the mature...

There is no longer the flurry of cotillion invitations and the constant sight of young men bedecked in top hats and tails strolling to their apartments on the Gold Coast to smoke a cigar under the light of a glowing chandelier. Nor the spectacle of languishing youths, waited on hand and foot by a faithful valet. However, the legacy of the Coast has not disappeared. Present-day inequity takes a subtler form...

...ideals or our standard of living--and everyone understandably wants both. What bothers me, though, are those audience members who laughed in commiseration with Gibbons and forgot about him a moment after leaving the theater. Although they may not know it, they are Samir and Michael, who, after the smoke has cleared (literally), join another technology corporation and eagerly jump back into the rut they have temporarily escaped.
