Trends Reviews and Recaps

Remember when Molotov cocktails were “in”?

I don’t either, but I’ve read enough about the era: It was the latter half of the 1960s, of course.

Molotov cocktails were so “in” 35 years ago that Jason and Barbara Epstein (“Who?”), back when they were cool, or trying to be cool, or something, earned themselves a bit of notoriety by publishing a design for the device on the cover of their still-new and not-yet-quite-so-painfully-Anglophilic magazine, the New York Review of Books.

And a good laugh -- or a self-righteous smirk, at least -- was had by all.

Well, it appears Molotov cocktails may be back in style, at least in Philadelphia.

This could be one hell of a mayoral race.
