“It’s March, the longest month of the year….The Long March. The Death March. The March of Time, the March of Doom, the maddening thump-thump-thump of days in 4/4 time. No wonder we go a little crazy, or a lot, at this time of year. Our March entertainments have a desperate, hysterical character.’’

--Tim Clark, in “March Madness, in the March 2002 Yankee magazine.
