I finally managed to find a few youngsters who were there; the only thing they were willing to say about it was: "Rushdie was awesome!" South Florida is so illiterate that no one here on the staff or management of any daily or weekly newspaper thinks that Salman Rushdie is important enough to report what he said to hundreds or maybe thousands of people. The population is only utilitarian literate: they can read the back of a cereal box. But otherwise, they are barely more literate than the population of Afghanistan. Welcome to Browardstan, perhaps well on its way to becoming the next South Bronx.

Meanwhile, there's mud being flung in the local Teaneck elections today -- 14 candidates! -- and I can't imagine the Bergen Record being able to write a story that would truly clarify things and inform me. Not with a reporter beign given only 1000 words and 24 hours to cover it.
