boyos at the bar

They missed St. Patrick's Day but repaired to Donohue's for a boost to their spirits after (another) memorial service for another former editor of Life. (Yeah, we kind of went through editors there.) "One thing about these affairs," said Ed, "I feel pretty young compared with the rest of the crowd."
   However, the very fact that they were at the bar is a tipoff that they're old-style. As it was put in a New York Times article recently, "Our cultural image of the writer has historically been of a thrice-divorced, whiskey-swilling chain smoker who brawls with his rival over a nasty review in a dimly lit Manhattan speakeasy. Now it’s a married yogi in a BabyBjörn who tweets exclamatory encomia from the kale section at the Park Slope Food Co-op."
