Here’s a teenage pic of Osama with his huge family on vacation in Sweden. Look how normal it all looks, how bourgeois, how American. Osama is standing, the last but one on the right. It’s hard to see from this link, but he’s actually wearing flaired blue jeans and a rather fetching powder-green rib-sweater. I guess the 1970s wrought their own form of fashion terror on all of us. Then there’s this Mary Anne Weaver gem, unaccountably buried in the New Yorker web-archives. Enjoy.
