Calvin Trillin on New Orleans

I took a liking to Calvin Trillin a few years ago after reading his short bit on he tours he takes his friends on through Chinatown in New York. His visit to the arcade with a chicken that plays tic tac toe was one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. He sounds like such a hard-core New Yorker, I was surprised to find out that he spent a good bit of time in New Orleans and has written about the place quite a bit. This morning he was on CBS Sunday Morning and read a part of his book "About Alice" about meeting his wife at the New Orleans airport with a Jazz Band. I tried to find it on-line, but to no avail. I'll try again later and post it if I find it.
But in the process of searching I found this Time Magazine article he wrote on New Orleans in 1988. I found it extremely observant and hilarious. I'm not exactly sure why, but the article is titled The Republicans.
