...book concerns her final move, to France, along with her husband and their child. It's easily the least interesting part of the book as it's also the most narcissistic of an already intensely self-involved work.

Nearly every profile of him points out that the hometown Congressman for the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard has never attended the Academy Awards. "It's such a long night," he says. "When I watch it on TV, I can get a snack." Waxman grew up over his family's grocery store near Watts, got his political start in the state assembly and came to Washington among the storied post-Watergate reformers known as the Class of 1974.
