Fat Hot American Summer

I heart the New York Times for their special ability to make my eyes bleed.
(on the trend of riding private planes to summer camps at desolate, distant places like Maine and New Hampshire)

But some parents have already tired of this private-plane status infiltrating the simpler world of summer camp. [Nancy Chemtob, a divorce lawyer] once managed to get on a charter plane from the airport in East Hampton, N.Y., for $750. After listening to enough banter among parents about “who is flying, who is flying private, who they can get a lift home with,” she decided she “was done with Maine and the planes and all of the people.”

“It’s a crazy world out there,” she added. She now sends her children to camp in Europe.
