One more thing before I resume my nursing duties this morning: in case you missed it the first time around, WNYC’s Studio 360, hosted by Kurt Andersen, is rerunning an episode in which I talk at some length about criticism in America today, and how it’s being affected by the new media. I was very pleased by the way it turned out, as were those of you who listened in and wrote to me about it.
If you live in the New York area, Studio 360 is heard over WNYC at ten a.m. Saturday on 93.9 FM and seven p.m. Sunday on 820 AM. For a list of radio stations in other cities that carry the show, go here.

Now, back to work!
