The Old Unified Line

Today in “On the Square,” Joseph Bottum describes what would have been for some others a misspent weekend, spent watching the old televisions how What’s My Line? on Youtube. And in Lining Culture finds that what “the weird, silly, self-important old show did have, that would soon be lost, is an imagination of culture. And a unified culture, at that.” Which, as he goes on to say, is important for us to know, because we don’t.

Also, in October Comes Early , we describe the next issue, now in the mail.
