“The New York Review of Books”: Where the literati find love
Disappointed by the available stock of suitors on Internet dating sites? Opposed to algorithmal love on principle? Worried your date won’t get your “Ulysses” references?
Then why not let “The New York Review of Books” arrange your next blind date?
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this month, the literary journal that Tom Wolfe once called “the chief theoretical organ of Radical Chic” has been facilitating the union of the literati’s not-so-theoretical organs since its founding in 1963.
And while the magazine’s associate publisher, Catherine Tice, couldn’t tell you why the journal decided to run personal ads, she can quote you the very first one: “Wife wanted: intelligent, beautiful, 18 to 25, broad-minded, sensitive, affectionate. For accomplished artist and exciting life. NYR box 1432,” she told NPR.
Other favorites from the associate publisher:

Vanity Fair: Michelle Obama Gets More Grammy Nominations Than Justin Bieber and One Direction Combined
By Julie Miller, Vanity FairOn Wednesday night, the Grammys announced their 2013 nominations. Some people heard the news at a special live Grammy-nominations concert in Nashville, many read about it on the Internet, while a select few (thousand) were alerted of the announcement personally by Taylor Swift’s Instagram feed, which showed a photo of her nomination for Record of the Year. Either way, it was incredibly exciting music-awards news–unless you are Justin Bieber, One Direction, Lionel Richie, Nicki Minaj, or one of the many female performers shut out of this year’s testosterone-heavy Grammy race. In that case, not so much.Read More…

Lakers Struggling Mightily — Can Their Woes Be Fixed?
For the better part of the past three decades, to hear “LA is 1-4″ has been nothing out of the ordinary. It’s just that “LA” has typically been in reference to the lowly Clippers, not the storied Lakers. This season, however, as the Clips morph into one of the league’s deepest, most exciting teams, it’s the Lakers who have stumbled out of the gate, looking old and uncharacteristically slow early on.GM Mitch Kupchak was lauded for his offseason additions of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash to flank Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. And while there should be a grace period for Howard and Nash — see Miami Heat 2011 — a 1-4 start (1-12 including the preseason) is the worst of the Kobe era — and with the league’s highest payroll. It’s a record that should be sending up red flags.Just what exactly has gone wrong isn’t so much the question as what hasn’t gone wrong?Read More…
