Suburban teenagers hang out in parking lots and act rowdy. It's hard to find a nice, affordable apartment in the West Village. People have fun rooting at minor-league baseball games.

On reinspection, the <em>Times</em> says, the facts--a name and an age--check out, though Feuer did get another name wrong in the piece.... http://www.observer.com/node/32591#comments Media Alan Feuer Baghdad Catherine Mathis New York Times Company The Media Mob Thu, 07 Jul 2005 08:15:00 -0400 http://www.observer.com/node/32591 http://www.observer.com/node/50680 <p>There are narrow-interest memoirs, and then there are very-narrow-interest memoirs.

The day before, New York magazine had posted the contents of its latest issue on the Web. And the likely answer, at the moment, would have been: Just about everybody. At least, just about everybody who knows Ms.... http://www.observer.com/node/49330#comments Media Alan Feuer David Barstow Franklin Foer Judith Miller Off the Record Sun, 06 Jun 2004 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.observer.com/node/49330 http://www.observer.com/node/46149 <p>I recently attended my 20th reunion. Not my high-school or college reunion-my Rikers Island reunion. It wasn't a conventional affair with a hospitality tent, skits and chapel service, and I was the only attendee. But it was moving nonetheless. I did a couple of years on Rikers in the late 70's and early 80's-not in jail (though it sometimes felt that way), but as a flack in the Department of Correction's public-affairs office.</p> One would... http://www.observer.com/node/46149#comments Alan Feuer John Mohan Rikers Island The New Yorker's Diary Warden Goodman Sun, 16 Jun 2002 20:00:00 -0400 http://www.observer.com/node/46149
