More from the right-wing nostalgia file

Monday, cigarette #1
Outside Bass Library, 10:45am


As I stand ankle-deep in snow outside the library, I can only think of the late 1980's, when the study room of Yale's main undergraduate library had a smoking section.

Something tells me I would write papers faster if I had a pack to help me concentrate. Also: c'mon! Aesthetics! A woman sitting at a desk in front of a typewriter/laptop/textbook might be working or she might just be staring off into space thinking about what to have for lunch, but a woman sitting at the same desk smoking cigarette after cigarette? She's thinking thoughts.
