A reader writes: I was at the Harvard Club for a New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) meeting, co-sponsored by the Canadian Consulate General in New York The name of the CEO of NYSSA is Tom Phillips. (Yes, THAT Tom Phillips, you SPY-stalker girl, you—co-founder of the magazine.)

Numerous Canadian Consular Officials (CCO), seated around Tom Phillips: "So, you were involved in SPY Magazine?"
Tom Phillips (TP): "Yes, until 1991 when we sold it."
CCO: "Why was SPY always so hard on Canada?"
TP: "Oh, well, that was mostly Graydon [Carter, current Editor of Vanity Fair]."
CCO: "Well, what does Graydon have against Canada?"
TP: [shifts in his seat, pauses] "He's...from there."
CCO: In unison, all nod slowly, say "Ohhhh."
