LRB GETS CHEESEY: On a day when TNR goes drooling over a reality-TV blonde, LRB salivates over something more our speed: Camembert. Of course, it does justify its enclosure in the money-losing side of the press (as opposed to the NYT food section) by using Camembert production as a microcosm of modernity; but on the other hand, the author has the class (and humour) to sign his biographic line: "Steven Shapin, who teaches sociology of science at the University of California, San Diego, was raised on cheese and baloney sandwiches." Nice.
