Actually, I’m a big fan of the Times, and I even subscribe, but there are times when the Times descends, or perhaps plummets, to self-parody. One of those times occurred in a recent article on South Korean pop, a subject perhaps too rarely visited by Timesmen and Timesbabes. In any event, Timesman Jon Caramanica, referring to the footware of choice of one group, said they seemed to favor “Dr. Martens.”
