A richly deserved thrashing
...for a NYT article. Men's life expectancy is increasing; good-bye to the "merry widow!" Dr. Helen is having none of it: "In this pathetic excuse for an article, the theme appears to be that because men are living longer, this might put a cramp in women's lifestyles."
Was it Dorothy Parker who said: "This is not a book to be taken lightly. It is to be hurled against the wall with great force"? This article would serve well for pitching practice. Read Joan Didion's "Year of Magical Thinking," and then we'll talk about bereavement. "Merry widow," indeed.

Sorry, ladies. If you want the fun of early widowhood, you'll have to slip something in his casserole.
