Many people have proposed their idea of the ideal Democratic ticket [Feb. 18]. Here's mine: Obama for Prez, with John Edwards for Veep and Clinton for Secretary of State. Obama would bring the inspiration of Kennedy's Camelot, Edwards as V.P. would preclude Bill's getting in the way, and Hill would get a job she can sink her teeth into. The ticket would be so damn compelling, the Republicans would probably concede in October...
...embossed stationery--to my friend and fellow writer Joel Stein. Soon after, a trip to Las Vegas was booked, with Joel graciously bringing me along to dine with Robert and his wife Vera beneath Picassos at the Bellagio. There were stories about Richard Burton and Ed Sullivan, choruses of Camelot and a few empty bottles. More Goulet dinners followed, each one unforgettable in its own way.

Still, his more than 20 books, on subjects from F.D.R. to Nixon, influenced political debate for decades and won him two Pulitzer Prizes: the first, at age 28, for his fresh take on Andrew Jackson and the second for his most...
...politics and to the many sexual indiscretions of John F. Kennedy ’40.The costumes, exquisitely designed by Elisa M. Oliveri ’08, squarely place the opera in the sixties; the Countess’ Jackie O hairstyle is essential in helping the audience identify the Camelot couple. The convertible set is attractive, but does not distract from the plot. However, the set changes before the second act took a bit of time on opening night, breaking up the pace of the narrative.Under the direction of Sullivan, the orchestra played in tune and matched the vim and vigor...
