FRONT OF BOOK Letters: A gaggle of new correspondence, the bulk of which comes from angry (and possibly former) readers. One day, perhaps, The Stranger will alienate its final reader in Seattle… Last Days: Wonderful. Just wonderful…. NEWS After a handful of interesting/engaging weeks, The Stranger‘s news section returns to its slumber-inducing form…. SHORT FEATURE The return of the caustic Neal Pollack to the pages of The Stranger. Attempts at outrage have never been so unfunny…. FEATURE A mammoth, well-written article. Where did The Stranger find such a talent as Eli Sanders, and whose decision was it to send him to the Gaza Strip? One would expect to find such an article in the pages of, say, the Seattle Weekly, instead of The Stranger…. THEATER Too gay…. BOOKS Didn’t read…. ART Didn’t read….

MUSIC Skimmed…. FILM Didn’t read…. ETC. It’s My Party: Didn’t read…. I Love TV: Didn’t read…. Nightstand: A somewhat witty “interview” with Marcel Proust. The operative word here is “somewhat”…. Control Tower: Didn’t read…. Savage Love: Filthy. Uninformative. Nearly unreadable…. Celeb I Saw U: Too gay….
