[Magdalen] Washington Post article on involuntary hospitalization of the mentally ill

[Ann Markle]

Bathroom doesn't give a "get down to business" girl enough time.  It takes
me a couple of months to get through an issue there.

I love the fiction -- and nearly everything else.  I'm not a dance
aficionado (though I used to be), but even these articles keep me reading.
But (was it Grace?  like Grace), I'm a cereal-box reader.  I'll read nearly
everything.  When I used to read the NY Review of Books, it took me hours
to read the personals, and I wasn't even "looking."

Maybe committing myself to ONLY NYer, and doing tablet on the plane, would
be the way to go.  Except I don't want to take my tablet, only my phone.
I'm even debating whether to take my very fine camera, because my phone's
nearly as good....
