Still pompous ...

... after all these years: Philip Roth: America the dutiful.

One slight correction: Bucknell is in Lewisburg, Pa., which is not in Western Pennsylvania.It's on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, north of Harrisburg and east of Williamsport. Two-thirds of the state are west of it.

Phil looks pretty good for 75, but he could dress a little spiffier. The belt buckle is way too far to the left. Slovenly dress is a sure sign of aging.
