If Not Then, Now?

If you thought the N.Y. Times business section was critical of Barry Diller’s pay package before, what happens now that he calls the Times “loony”?

If you thought that African-Americans didn’t watch Seinfeld before (as we wrote in Freakonomics), what happens now that Jesse Jackson calls for a boycott?

And if you thought that books were good for you, you might want to think again. (On the other hand, it was the television she was trying to get working.)
