Minivan Moms, Move Over


Speaking of felicitous combinations (well, a month ago, anyway), here's my current favorite combination of author name and title/subject matter. As if the surname 'Blow' and the topic (cocaine use among teens) weren't enough, in the title there's also the irresistible echo of the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious classic in the phrase 'white teens'. Sing it with me! 'White teeeeeeennnnns, going through my mi-iiiiinnnnd...'

It's almost as perfect as the tandem of sociologist James Aho and his 2002 book, The Orifice as Sacrificial Site.
