Ever since its inception, one of the internet's most commonly used features is the limitless pool of jokes and wacky pictures. Millions of people around the world devote large chunks of time to this phenomenon, particularly college students who can't get enough of dorm room gags, especially if they involve beer, bloopers, and topless girls. In the winter of 2000, connoisseurs of college humor and

Paul McCulleyBack in college, most of us took microeconomics before we took macroeconomics. In fact, at Grinnell College where I went, microeconomics was a prerequisite for macroeconomics. The reason was simple: microeconomics begins with the concepts of supply and demand, an essential starting point for the study of macroeconomics.

Jazz Poetry by Kenneth Rexroth Things are beginning to get out of hand. The other day Ralph Gleason, the jazz critic, said to me that he expected any day to see ads in the trade papers: “JAZZ POET: blues, ballad, upbeat, free verse or rhyme. Have tux. Will travel.” And T.S. Eliot touring the kerosene circuit with Little Richard and the Harlem Globetrotters. Crazes are usually pretty empty,

by Kenneth RexrothA little short of two years ago, jazz poetry was a possibility, a hope and the memory of a few experiments. Today it runs the danger of becoming a fad. The life of fads is most often intense, empty and short. I feel, on the contrary, jazz poetry has permanent value or I would not have undertaken it.When it is successful there is nothing freakish or faddish about it nor, as a

Hearing Voices By PETER D. KRAMERFROM age 13, Daniel Smith’s father heard voices — inner instructions to move a glass across the table or to use this subway turnstile rather than that one. The strain of fighting the voices in secret, Smith believes, led to the psychotic depression his father suffered in his late 30s. The father responded with rage when he later learned that his own father had

BY: AVI DANIn the 1993 film ``Groundhog Day,'' Bill Murray plays Phil Connors, an egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman grudgingly covering the annual event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Just when he thinks the hated assignment can't get any worse, he finds himself trapped in an endless loop of repeating it over and over again.Perhaps one of the icons marching down Madison Avenue this Advertising

Frisk ManagementHow the NYPD's blackly grim stop-and-frisk numbers got whitewashedby Sean GardinerDecember 11th, 2007 7:58 PM When NYPD cops fired 50 times and killed unarmed Sean Bell a year ago, they called it "contagious fire." When they shot and killed troubled teen Kheil Coppin last month, mistaking a hairbrush for a gun, it was spun as "suicide by cop." Now, thanks to a RAND Corporation

The mounting tension over uptown gentrification, amplified by Columbia University's planned expansion, is threatening to erupt as a new plan seeks to reconfigure the very heart of Harlem. The city has proposed a major rezoning to 125th Street—Harlem's main commercial thoroughfare—that could have a drastic impact on the character of the historically African-American area. The street is now a mix

Thomas FrankThe workings of Wall Street can be understood in terms of industry-building, speculation, manipulation, corporate governance, or simple human greed. But they are perhaps best thought of as a long-running dialogue on the wisdom of the common people and the meaning of democracy itself. As with any Capra movie, the literature of Wall Street alternates between hope and profound pessimism;

In an epic battle for eyeballs, it’s anti-advertising vs. corporate advertising, but who chooses the weapons? Increasingly, marketing firms like AltTerrain and Interference Inc. have been appropriating the ideas and technology of street artists to push products that break through the clutter. With fines for illegal advertising ridiculously low and millions to be made, it’s literally gotten ugly.

But the last ten years have been rocky, especially when music split for a rather extended rendezvous with the Internet (having flings with mp3s and other digital files). And while music moved on to new types of media, it left design with the kids: vinyl, cassette, and CD.Album art just doesn’t have the same place in our
