Great Moments in Journalism: Jamal and the Night Visitors
Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. Thursgay's got a piece on "up-from-the-ashphalt" styles, which starts off promisingly with this lede: "SCOURING street-wear shops in downtown Manhattan on Saturday, Dimitri Viglis zeroed in on a hoodie he hoped would put some cool in his wardrobe." But it's a couple paragraphs later that we finally arrive at today's Moment:
He paid about $150 for his hoodie but would have parted with twice or even three times the price, he said. "Look at the quality," he said, turning the cuff inside out to show its meticulous construction and stitching. Better yet, he said, he felt reasonably assured that he would not be seeing it on every Tom, Jamal and Harry.
We guess "Leroy" or "Rufus" just didn't sound as mellifluous.
