New Yorker articles are not nearly as lengthy since William Shawn left (as well as a lot less crappy since his successor Tina Brown left, thank God).
I didn't find the article labored at all. I think the author made a point of including various points of view about the topic which I appreciated, and I think the article was a fairly easy read considering the fact that all the ground he was covering and all the sources he cites could have made it read like a term paper.
I'm not quite sure what to make of Dr. Cosby. On the one hand, I find some of what he says agreeable. But his remarks are very easy to pluck out of context and use to defend views that I find not so agreeable.
