NEXT STOP, PENNSYLVANIA STATION: I'm as opposed to inappropriate conduct on the train and other forms of public transit as anyone else, but I don't know that I'd "shout[] an obscenity at a passenger talking on his cellphone and slap[] the hand of another," as did someone who is currently on trial in Manhattan Criminal Court (and who gets the front page of the Times Metro section today). Particularly unendearing is his insistence on comparing himself to Rosa Parks--about which Sarah Vowell probably has something to say. (The Sorkin clip referenced by Vowell is available starting at about 10:40 here (with Chinese subtitles, no less!))
Edited--one of my links is now fixed.
