I finally have something nice to say about Noam Chomsky

The Israel Lobby?, by Noam Chomsky

Amazing, isn't it, how the world's foremost expert on linguistics doesn't seem to understand the effect of his own words. Here's a guy who could be (or should be) dropping linguistics bombs into the language that grow into new understanding patterns 20 years down the road, and all he wants to do is be Maureen Dowd in drag. What a waste of talent.

Anyway, that nice thing I promised to say about Noam: His article has a classy font selection. I hope he had somthing to do with it.

I think it's either Verdana or Tahoma. Verdana seems to be the choice of printer-friendly pages, but they're both in the same font family. The word "Grapevine" in "The Homeless Grapevine" masthead is Tahoma (in Bold with Italics). See, all those years messing around with fonts in Word Perfect as a kid (and taking up your computer) sort of paid off. -kev
