...recession yet, and we may well avoid the textbook version--consecutive quarters of negative real gross domestic product. But the economy is slowing so fast that it feels like a recession. Six months ago, real GDP was growing at a 5.6% annual rate. Goldman Sachs estimates that it will slow to 2.7% this quarter and 1.5% next. That's one of the fastest decelerations ever.

Between the first and second trial, we flash forward to a scene between a narrator (Dan Rosenthal '02) and Marvin Taylor (Liz Janiak '03), a New York University professor. Taylor makes it easy to laugh at the implications of Wilde's trials, especially given the pretentious delivery that is reminiscent of a bad English lecture. Yet the time warp does not seem...
