In response to a new Talk of the Town squib by Michael Rosenwald, a sampler of things considers the new Bazooka Joe for the 21st century, and isn't sure that he's an improvement over the old Joe. He offers some scans of vintage comics to support his case. But you gotta admit, Rosenwald is right when he writes
...Bazooka's chief problem was the fact that the tiny comics that come wrapped around the gum weren't funny to anyone born after 1962. Example:
Jane says to Joe: "I made this cake myself, Joe!" Joe: "Jane, this cake tastes awful!" Jane: "Oh, yeah! Smarty! The cookbook says it's delicious!" I was not born after 1962, and I think the joke is lame. Heck, I thought it was lame in 1962.

For the first time, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been recognized by a medical examiner as a cause of death.
CFS, which is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), has a variety of devastating symptoms ranging from extreme weakness, inability to concentrate and persistent headache. Sufferers can have the disease for years, but its cause remains controversial, with fiercely opposing views from psychiatrists on one side and biologically minded physicians on the other.
My friend Jim from St. Louis passed away a few years ago, quite likely from CFS.
