Child, you should see my library of New Yorker's. My grandmother subscribed for years and gave them to me when she was finished reading them. I used to rip them open and race to the pages containing Pauline Kael's reviews. That was one of the joys of my childhood. Kael was my crack, even though I didn't know what she was talking about half the time considering my age. But I've still got them all for the most part, only I cut out her reviews and have them in notebooks.
