Jonathan Franzen isn't the only intellectual worried about the sudden surprising news of a baby dearth in this country. So also are the important intellectuals at n+1 magazine.
"The timing is bad," they admit. "Just after we commit to selling our special n+1 "Abortions Are Groovy!" tote bags.
"Yes, very bad," another significant intellectual agrees, shaking his head. "What happens if abortions become no longer, you know, chic or cool?"
"It'd be terrible. Terrible! Can we afford to be wrong again?"
The prestigious intellectuals at the intellectually prestigiously prodigiously pretentiously named n+1 have a track record of being wrong. Like the time five years ago when they announced to the world "The End of Oil"-- it had to be the end, because they proclaimed it-- right before vast new pools of oil reserves were discovered around the world.
"Bad timing," they agree. "We're always victims of bad timing."
