    I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

    It seems fairly quiet this New Year's. Maybe we're partied out from the Second Coming of the Phillies. (PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!) Maybe the much-bandied-about glumness has struck us. I'd like to think I'm not the only one who finds it more difficult to celebrate this holiday with the passing of years. I thought the fireworks might not go off at Penn's Landing given the high winds, but they did, and they're pretty as usual. Happy New Year -- and let's hope it will be happier, anyway.

    P. S. As the infernal hacks try to make the stroke-bound Dick Clark a teenager again, does anyone here remember why he put himself on? It was as a young-folks' alternative to that senescent fogie playing on CBS. Does anyone remember him? Some people don't know why we play "Auld Lang Syne" anymore. I couldn't find a video of his New Year's act on YouTube. Oh well, "We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,/For auld lang syne."
