Great column! I wrote the author, Brian McGrory..wonder if he's related to Mary McGrory, a columnist I always enjoyed. The main character in this scenario, named John, is offended that people think of him as 'money-grubbing'.

I'm mulling over the notion that Islamic terrorists are perverting the Koran. For one thing, the koranic statement that Jews are "the offspring of monkeys and pigs" tends to show that the koran may well be the archetypal racist document.
