besides that, it was an interesting write up. I've never read any of the New Yorker before and the writing style certainly was different.
Thanks

What's cool is that none of them are even U2 fans but one of them--who cannot even NAME a U2 song--said, "Everyone knows Bono knows more about the World Bank than anyone else in the world. " I don't know if that's true or not, but it sure made me smile that my officemate said it. Another one, also not a fan, said, "He should run for public office" and the other one said, "Oh, he's sure to be appointed to some position--it's inevitable."
