THE WORD THE NY TIMES DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE

In yesterday's Sunday Times: rampant joblessness, moms at war, Iranian nukes, out tweens, sippable coconut shells, Andre Leon Talley in what looked to be the world's biggest tallit. And a lot of other things. What was deemed too hot (or too stupid) for the Times: the other F word. This is the memorable name chosen by the public transportation system in Ticino, the Italian-speaking wilds of Switzerland I wrote about in Sunday's T Travel Magazine. You drive up into these beautiful mountains and there you see the red bus stops everywhere proudly announcing: Here is the Fart bus. Tell me, worldly sophisticates, you wouldn't slow down the car to take a picture? Liars.
