"If, as Michael Kinsley once observed, Al Gore was an old person’s idea of a young person, then Gladwell is a young person’s idea of an old person’s idea of a young person."
From NY Mag’s profile of Malcolm Gladwell, which (the source) is interesting if only because Gladwell is a writer for semi-rival NY mag the New Yorker. Actually, maybe not, since most of those NY mags have a masthead with some writers who tend to transcend the masthead.
