TIMES PICKS ON ARABS: [Rod Dreher] New York Press is out this week with its mammoth, entertaining "Best of Manhattan 2002" issue. There's some really funny stuff in there, like this entry: "Best Harrassment of an Arab in the Wake of 9/11: ... It's two weeks after the World Trade Center massacre, and w're visiting our favorite pita place in the former shadows of the WTC. Maybe we're gullible enough to think that we're showing support for a local Arab-American. We ask if he's had any kind of harassment. 'There was this one woman,' he explained, 'who came in from The New York Times. She kept telling me that she understood if I hated America. I finally told her not to come back until she wanted to write about my business.'"
