FIDDLER IN THE SUBWAY

This is the title of the book by Washington Post writer/editor Gene Weingarten who now has 2 Pulitzer Prize. It is a collection of (?20)essays he wrote describing the world as it is. One featured story is the famous stunt in Washington subway. It looks like the whole book is about the much talked experiment 'cause of the title and the use of Josh's photo but Josh's story is only one of the essays featured and can be read on the last chapter.

Hope Josh gets commission by lending his portrait on this book 'cause the famous stunt is now commercialized.

Next time I'm in Longview or Tyler I'll have to check the book stores there for it. This little hole-in-the-wall town doesn't have anything other than Wal-Mart to shop for books.
