HACKATHALON

Courtesy of David Remnick's recent profile in the Guardian(and if you have not read that -- then now -- no, quicker -- see below) here is SLATE's spectacularly brilliant take off on the style of a New York Times Op-Ed piece, a New Yorker Talk of the Town offering, a Vanity Fair celeb puff piece and a breaking news story. Wonderful stuff. Slate ran this in 1997. It remains simply acute.
