There is an essay contest for Vanity Fair magazine. Go to their web site for contest guidelines. The essays must address the topic: What is reality to Americans today? And did we ever have a grasp of it? (The last two sentences are from the guidelines) Deadline for entries is 9/30/06.

At any rate, 'tis intriguing!
