Bush/Kerry slash

2 Comments

In the Sept. 13 issue of the New Yorker (also available online), there's a Paul Rudnick piece called "Running Mates," in which George W. Bush falls in love with John Kerry. The piece is short and mildly amusing, but mostly I mention it 'cause it may be the first time I've seen slash in the New Yorker. (Though now I have a vague idea I might have seen a similar piece there, about other famous figures, some time ago.)

(Edited to fix URL—thanks, Twig!)

    Howdy. Your information is correct, but the link doesn’t work. Not sure what you have, but it appears to be here instead.

    Heh—I had pointed to the latest-item-in-department URL, not realizing that the material appears online a week before the cover date of the print issue, and thus that a new item would appear at that URL today. Anyway, fixed now; thanks!
