...Dole is behind in the polls--and trailing at the bookstores. Clinton's election-season tome quickly turned into a best seller. Not so for Dole's brief treatise (158 pages), which was co-written with his famously verbose running mate. If the election was decided at the cash register, Dole and Clinton would be also-rans to General Colin Powell, who has achieved the equivalent of a literary landslide (2.6 million copies in print) with his pre-election teaser. And what of that other man of letters, Ross Perot? He's rushing his "me too" autobiography to bookshelves this...
Although she has not generally promoted her above-the-collar assets in the past, Pamela Lee, the Baywatch star and former Playboy model, is negotiating a deal to write a book. It's probably going to be co-written by friendly-biographer-to-the-stars Todd Gold, but, says Lee's publicist, it won't be an autobiography. A surf-rescue manual, perhaps...
...York Times best-seller list, Bennett has plumbed and profited from America's anxiety over the decline in standards of moral behavior. The success of his first Virtues anthology spawned two profitable sequels and a cartoon show, which debuted last week on PBS. Meanwhile, he has co-written a new book called Body Count, to be published this month, which blames the rise of young criminal predators on a "moral poverty" born of negligent parenting, welfare dependency and too-easy divorce. And Bennett's ubiquity on talk shows and opinion pages drives the most lucrative division of his virtue empire...
...only problem with that scenario is the original scenario. The Nutty Professor was never really a comedy. Directed and co-written by Lewis in his "total filmmaker" phase, it mostly projected the comic's disastrous desire to morph his gloriously geeky anarchist into a soulful clown. Murphy, abetted by director Tom Shadyac and a whole raft of writers, cannot entirely escape the curious blend of aspiration and sloppiness that marked the earlier film...
...outcomes. And, because Harvard and the government department employ a procedure that is wrong, they are wrong as well. Standing alone on the Right side of this issue (publicly at least) is Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield Jr. In addition to a selective interpretation of an article co-written by Professor of Government Gary King, much of the rhetorical force of the article is provided by an interview with Mansfield. (Indeed, the term "Race-norming" is a direct quote.) Inasmuch as The Weekly Standard and Mansfield seized an opportunity to reflect publicly on the ethics of race-norming...
