...Soldier of Fortune, the macho magazine for adventurers (armchair and otherwise). The Colonel is Robert K. Brown, 52, a.k.a. "Uncle Bob," the onetime Green Beret who started the magazine in 1975 and owns it lock, stock and carbine barrel. Soldier of Fortune is a direct reflection of its creator: blunt, individualistic, muscularly anti-Communist. As Brown celebrates Soldier of Fortune's tenth anniversary this month, he makes no apology for the combative style--either his or the magazine's. Since its founding as a quarterly with a print run of 8,500, Soldier of Fortune, based in Boulder, has grown...

...three main characters find real-life correlatives just as easily. Indeed, the plot could be synopsized as follows: What if Albert Einstein (Michael Emil) were threatened in his hotel room by Senator Joe McCarthy (Tony Curtis), then visited by Marilyn Monroe, who explains the theory of relativity to its creator, then interrupted by Joe DiMaggio (Gary Busey), who wants a divorce or maybe just a little attention...

...informality, the show is precisely planned, a reflection of its creator. He is an inward man, tightly wound. Divorced in 1976 after eleven years of marriage to Mary Guntzel (whom he met at the University of Minnesota), Keillor lives with their 16-year-old son Jason in St. Paul and, according to friends, spends most of his time working. Even when he is not working, he is working. He wanders away from a Christmas party at Roy Blount's house, and walks for a while alone through the snowy streets of Mill River, Mass. That Saturday his monologue turns...

...faux-reality series following the daily life of a prim paper mill in Slough, England. Viewers expecting a by-the-numbers experience were pleasantly surprised—shocked, even—to find themselves laughing hysterically at the jaw-dropping antics of David Brent (played by co-creator Ricky Gervais), the regional manager who spends his time obliviously horrifying everyone around...

...have an eidetic memory of when I first read Dangling Man, a faded Penguin edition with an orange spine. I was 14 years old, Chicago born (like Augie; his creator was actually born in Montreal and came to this country when he was 9 years old). It showed me that literature could be fabricated out of the material of common life--in my case, common Chicago life. Bellow's work, from first to last, is the biography of a place, a map of his own consciousness as it evolves against the backdrop of the bleak industrial city, with its stockyards...
