An Online Magazine Published Weekdays Since 1999
Headlines for 1 September 2004

New York’s currently: halfway through this

 Up to 400 people, mainly students and parents, taken hostage at school in southern Russia. And: Suicide bombers kill at least 10 in Moscow.

 RNC speeches: Schwarzenegger drops self-references by the dozen, says Democrats are “economic girlie-men”; Laura Bush says her husband’s swell.

 Why Schwarzenegger is wrong (answer: history). And also: Why Giuliani is wrong (answer: context).

 Iraq: PM Allawi cancels disarmament talks with Sadr, looks for “harsher” approach.

 Mr. Bush’s aides said they were determined to use this week tearing down Mr. Kerry, in the calculation that Mr. Bush almost certainly cannot win unless voters are convinced that they cannot vote for Mr. Kerry.

 Waitress at strip club near Madison Square Garden blogs about bad tips, nice cufflinks. Also: Former Windows on the World employees talk about serving the delegates.

 Protestors arrested, cops harassed (and seduced), and everybody is ready for this to be over.

 It’s tax-free week in NYC! Is this a coincidence?

 Carson Ellis now has prints for sale!

 Fascinating tool lets you accurately construct a person’s face. And: What would the offspring of Simpsons characters look like?

 A laudable goal: New magazine decides it wants to be the Russian New Yorker.

 Must-read: Everything you need to know about the current state of nuclear weapons and terrorism.

 Everybody wants the centrists, and an interactive explanation of why the swing states matter.

 TMN contributing writer Tobias Seamon’s new novel, The Magician’s Study: A Guided Tour Of The Life, Times And Memorabilia Of Robert “the Great” Rouncival.

 Unequivocal proof that the moon landing was faked! Wait a minute…

 “A Scientific Approach to Understanding My Girlfriend’s Role in the Overall Degradation of My Life’s Quality.”

 Donations: Drop a dollar or more into the TMN money-box! (And thanks to yesterday’s donor!)
