44. OCCUPY WALL STREET piece by Lizzie Widcombe from same issue...

The New Yorker
The Talk of the Town

Wall Street Postcard
Preoccupied
by Lizzie Widdicombe October 24, 2011

Visiting the site of Occupy Wall Street last week—a month after the protest began, and shortly before Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s threatened and aborted cleanup—was a bit like visiting a civilization at its peak: Paris in the twenties, Rome in the second century, or, at the very least, Timbuktu in the fifteen hundreds. Zuccotti Park, once a humble office plaza, had developed its own language—the “human microphone” that the protesters use to amplify their voices without megaphones had popularized terms like “block” and “mic check” and “temperature check” (wiggling fingers); it had a financial bureau (the group claims to have raised more than a hundred and fifty thousand dollars); and was equipped with a newspaper, a library, and a space for worship (a “sacred tree,” ringed by candles, near the drum circle). Its influence and culture had spread across the land, and it had inspired fear among its enemies. Deutsche Bank employees were having black cars pick them up blocks away from the office; New York Stock Exchange workers were taking roundabout routes to the trading floor; and the Brooks Brothers at the corner of Trinity Place and Liberty Street had given up hope of selling ties on the weekends. “Something good will come out of it, don’t get me wrong,” a Brooks Brothers manager said of the movement. “But it’s not good for business.”

....with many more paragraphs.

Buy the New Yorker this week !

Btw: I did go over to Brooks Brothers to shop. NW corner of Liberty/Zuccotti across the street.

They used to have first-rate rugby shirts. At $60-$70, today, a luxury and kinda worth it because the shirts are warm and last a couple of decades. Cotton. Perfect golf shirts or fishing shirts for cool weather.

Now this brook's brothers have screwed up making rugby shirts. Straight sleeves instead of raglans. That's dumb, folks. The raglan sleeve is needed for freedom in a heavier shirt.

“But it’s not good for business” -- doesn't have to do with OWS. Only a wife buying a present for hubby would buy a straight sleeve rugger for general use. Not at $60-$70.

46. Yours is the shortest response I've ever seen on DU.

Perhaps I need to get on here more? :shrug:

Anyway, to the OP, and for the various people who posted New Yorker covers, thank you.

21. Guess what 1% ... it's too late

Must see OWS video, if you like Chris Hedges: (but who doesn't)

[vanbean]

49. Thanks Jim. But why does Chris Hedges think that move-on.org is reprehensible?

[Jim_Shorts]

50. Moveon wants to use the energy of OWS to push Democratic candidates

Story here: http://www.truth-out.org/moveonorg-and-friends-attempt-co-opt-occupy-wall-street-movement/1318259708

Moveon could just support OWS and not try to co-opt it.

26. Best. Cover. EVER!!! n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. The New Yorker will have to start recycling cartoons from the 20s and 30s.

They started in 1925,

One cartoon from the 1930s has a man in a tux and a lady in a long dress and fur wrap on the sidewalk.
They are hollering at their neighbors at their first story window. It is at night.

The man in the tux says "We're going down to the Trans-Lux (movie theater) to hiss Roosevelt."



The more things change, the more they stay the same.

38. I recall a framed New Yorker cover from the early 30s I saw

hanging in the Algonquin that pictured a group of obviously wealthy people in their chauffeur driven convertible with the title "To hell with the proletariat!"

[katty]

28. o good-at least the tea party is evaporating in the media

Gotta love those well-placed ads!

43. This site has one setup flaw: WHY CUT OFF THE RECOMMEND VOTES ?

That makes no sense at all.

This posting is great, btw. I'll buy the mag today because of it.

[trumad]

45. Works fine for me...

Just rec'ed it to 262

[tomfodw]

47. That cover is just so mean

All the nice little bankers did is try to steal all the money that ever was, and you people do nothing but make fun of them. You're all so mean and nasty.
