Editor's Note
Autumn, Gifford, thankfully they kicked him off Monday Night Football. Should have done it way back when Howard ruled the ABC house. Well, why be obsessed: it’s been a great sports summer; McGuire and Sosa, and let’s not forget Sampras—records potentially being broken everywhere. And we are in New York so there are the Yanks, and they will rock history with the best record. Check your head; we forgot about the Beastie Boys. However, the fall weather makes you feel these cats take nusty out of ’98’s summer by their shear presence alone.
And on the back side of zing Edna Ferber is talking about the weather from the Ritz Carlton Hotel-Boston. Endure the real thing. Everybody sweats. That’s right, a member of the Algonquin Round Table sweats—McGuire, Sosa, Sampras, the Yanks, and even the Beastie Boys get intergalactic. So how to get comfortable. Well, isn’t that always someone else’s perception of what is comfortable.
POSH. I’ve recently learned from a reputable source the derivation of this word: Port Outward Starboard Home. That’s on a shop. Well, while James Cameron finally does not have a commercialized license on it, basically the idea is, that you see land on both voyages—to and from lndia—from England (By the way, for non sailors: Port is on the left side of the boat and both port and left have four letters).
Life comes a-hurring,
Or life lags slow;
But you’ve stopped worrying –
Let it go!
Some call it jake;
They’re very little to me-
Let them eat cake!
Some find it fair,
Some think it hooey,
Many people care;
But we don’t do we?-Dorothy Parker
I can’t help it, the woman who represents New York’s other tower at the Algonquin table gets the last word.

Christian Bernard is the director of Mamco Museum in Geneva, Switzerland.
Dan Asher is an artist “living” in NYC. This season he will exhibit at Tomokoyana Gallery, Tokyo, and Aurel Scheibler Gallery, Cologne. Fevered Cabin-antarctic figments is an excerpt from a “work in regress”.

Shelley F. Marlow is a visual artist, writer, and palmreader. A magic realism excerpt of her fiction novel, that takes place in the Mark Twain Caves in Hanibal, Ms., appears in the current New Observations Magazine. The excerpts in this zing issue were chosen by what the author found would suit the 21 different artists with different styles and media (ranging from mtv animation to oil paint illustrations.) Swann in Love Again/The Lesbian Arabian Nights is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblances to actual persons, living or dead, events or locales, is entirely coincidental.
