inserts.....

ok, so in this week's new yorker magazine.....which was missing and just reappeared this afternoon....there were at least 4 made-to-be-removed-by-reader inserts.....in no particular order.......an election scoreard from cnn that included a map of the united states and stickers (elephants and donkeys....) to be placed on states after their electoral votes have been declared.........there was an llbean ultra-mini catalog of 10 selected items that i might just want to order on their toll-free number.......a mini-phamphlet from make-it-better.org underwritten by timberland boots which highlighted ways that i can make my home 'green'.....and a guide to photography in galleries and museums nationwide supplied by the folks at hp...(invent.....)...there is a tiny ad for a portable diigital camera and printer just inside the back cover....just in case i am moved to produce some woo-worthy piece of photography myself...........curiously, there are numerous mentions of exhibits in houston, los angeles, boston....but none in nyc.................maybe the folks at the new yorker figured that readers already live in nyc and could find exhibits by reading the magazine itself...................
