FBLA believes that all things come to those who wait. (And good things come in small packages.)
Devoted readers will recall our series on What To Do About the Los Angeles Times, and how in the first installment, writer Neal Pollack had declined to participate. We admit, that rejection stung and we lashed out. Here now, his views:

If you don't subscribe, how often do you buy it or read it online?

I read it online every day and buy it two or three times a week to read at coffeeshops, restaurants, or while waiting on an errand.

What's your favorite section?

I read the sports all the time, because I'm a Dodger fan, and I also like the editorial page. Bob Scheer is missed, but there's still a decent mix. I also really like the schools column, and I have a soft spot for Steve Lopez.

What's your least favorite section?

Real estate. I would really like real estate to be cheaper in L.A. Do you think the Times can do something about that?

What's the one thing you'd change?

Less coverage of the Lakers. I hate the Lakers. I realize that probably won't happen.

What's the one thing you'd like to see the paper
add?

Nothing comes to mind right now. Maybe a day-care room at the Books Festival.

And there you have it! Neal Pollack--he is the greatest living American writer.
