Most Talked About New York Magazine Stories

The Unabomber Couldn't Make His 50th Harvard Reunion

nymag.com — He did, however, kindly let everyone know what he's been up to. Ted Kaczynski's latest entry in the alumni directory lists his awards - "Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998" - and publications: his 2010 manifesto "Technological Slavery," put out by "Feral House."
Michael Moynihan Contributing Editor, Reason @mcmoynihan
No need to put Feral House in quotes, @NoreenMalone It is a very real publishing house. http://t.co/9zWob41W

On Armani’s Supplement Overdose and Succession Predicament

nymag.com — You may recall that Giorgio Armani came down with a really bad case of hepatitis back in 2009. In the latest issue of WSJ. magazine, he clarifies that he didn't get the condition the usual way (by a virus), but - far more mysteriously - because he was taking too many "supplements" every morning before going to the gym.

The Knicks Are About to Extend Mike Woodson. Is This the Right Idea?

nymag.com — The Knicks, more than anything else (more than stability, more than institutional consistency, more than winning), seem to have valued drama the most over the last year, so, we'll confess, it's a considerable surprise to see the team moving to give Mike Woodson a long-term deal, perhaps as early as this week.

Fifteen ‘Men’s Fiction’ Titles Forthcoming From Esquire’s New E-book Publishing Venture

nymag.com — Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Esquire will begin publishing e-books of "Fiction for Men," a category that's provoked a fair amount of Internet discussion about What It All Means (though, it should be noted, this is not the first time Esquire has drawn those lines).

Wright, Bain, and Nervous Political Elites

nymag.com — Two stories have dominated the presidential campaign over the last week. The first was a proposed, and quickly aborted, Republican advertising campaign focused on Jeremiah Wright. The second is an ongoing Obama ad campaign highlighting the human cost of Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital.

Romney Can’t Explain What He Learned in Business

nymag.com — Mitt Romney has been asserting for months that his experience in the private sector qualifies him to create jobs as president. Mark Halperin takes the clever and unusual step of asking Romney why this is so. Romney's answer is pure incoherence: Well that's a bit of a question like saying, what have you learned in life that would help you lead?

nymag.com — So, you know how every time you've walked past Barclays Center - you should really check it out, by the way, if you haven't been by recently; we were there yesterday and were jaw-dropped about how far along they are - you've wondered, Wait ... where are the parking spaces?

nymag.com — The messianic figure for the conservatives was already apparent in 1967: Ronald Reagan. But Reagan had been governor of California for less than a year and was adamant he would not run, so the most powerful force in the party had no natural champion.

The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights

nymag.com — The civil rights movement, once a controversial left-wing fringe, has grown deeply embedded into the fabric of our national story. This is a salutary development, but a problematic one for conservatives, who are the direct political descendants of (and, in the case of some of the older members of the movement, the exact same people as) the strident opponents of the civil rights movement.

She now claims her employers told her she was "too hot" for the workplace and is filing a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
