Why You Cannot Afford to Skip Any Parts of the Sunday 'Times'
If you hadn't read the Automobiles section — which, in fact, we usually don't, and we have no idea what possessed us to do so this week — you'd have missed this delightfully jarring bit:
"It's not worth pimping out a car unless it has something a little tacky," Mr. Wolfe said. "You have to suffer for style."
That Mr. Wolfe is Tom Wolfe, the mannerly, white-suited, 75-year-old novelist. Who has, apparently, pimped his own ride.
Amazing what you learn from the newspaper.
