I told Joyce Cohen that I liked her column “ The Hunt” far more than the rest of the New York Times because it was about everyday life. They should have other columns like yours, I said — about finding a job or a mate, for example. She said that the Vows section was sort of like that.
That’s true. But how much?
Maybe I should give each Vows article a 0-100 Hunt score according to how well it approximates a Hunt column. I started reading the most recent one. Then I came to this:
She is the host of “Winning Advice,” on ABC Radio, and the author of “The Millionaire Zone: Seven Winning Steps to a Seven-Figure Fortune” (Hyperion). . . . But when the lopsided conversation turned to business, Ms. Openshaw perked up.
And decided I would not pursue my ranking system.
