Well, I am taking down the Board O'Clutter this afternoon. One of the gems that has been in place ever since I started working years ago is a collection of some of those snarky little commentaries the New Yorker does on other publications' bloopers, or at least used to do. (I don't know if they do now because I dropped my subscription years ago.) The current crop are all, I believe, from the pre-Tina Brown Era:
