After September 11, everyone said that irony was dead and that you couldn't make fun of anything anymore. Well, the good news is that humor has come back - and with a vengeance. Art Buchwald, the dean of American satirists, has just produced his thirty-second book.Mr. Buchwald has been writing his column since 1949 - first in Europe for the Herald Tribune, where he was court jester to the International Set.
