I'm not one to complain about the hype machine; in fact, I think I like it. At least people are excited about something, right?

Thomas Boswell's story is excellent, to be fair, but the soaring rhetoric of the title is an indication of where we're headed — hell, where we've already gone — with this Harper Hype.
