More on the Muschamp article about 2 Columbus Circle:

From Skyline Online: “The article is everything we’ve come to expect from Muschamp: vast verbiage, implausible premises, provocative assertions, and annoying stylistic tics.” (Sounds like one of my readers.) “But his mad ravings are also punctuated by moments of breathtaking brilliance.”

From Tropolism: “queer spaces are always contingent, on the edges. They flourish and disappear. They do not cling to history, but to the present, and to life.”

Interesting.

Hearing Leo McGarry on The West Wing get asked about his heart attack during the vice-presidential debate tonight: ugh.

There’s a terrific article by Herbert Muschamp in today’s Times’s Arts & Leisure section about 2 Columbus Circle, gay men, New York in the 60s, culture, architecture, and Modernism. Pretty brilliant. “There’s no such thing as a bad drag act. There are only bad drag-act audiences.” I retract part of this.
