Talking about Bill Clinton’s post-presidential office dilemma, Dan Rather said on the CBS Evening News the other night that the choice came down to “Manhattan or Harlem.” Good thing a Republican didn’t say that; it would have been hate speech. It’s probably presumptuous of a Washingtonian like THE SCRAPBOOK to point this out, Dan, but that island you live on stretches a bit farther north than you realize. Next time you’re headed uptown, tell your driver to keep going. A couple of miles past where your friends live, you’ll reach Harlem. And you’ll still be in Manhattan!
Next week’s lesson: The Bronx is up and the Battery is down.
