...blurb on the Tower Books Web site is dramatic. “Surrounded by the children of high-profile celebrities... Becky Miller faces even more challenges in the form of self-absorbed parents, her weight, and her painfully high intelligence, which culminate in a nearly brutal day-to-day existence.”The plot draws noteworthy parallels to Kaplan’s own background. Kaplan has been a resident of L.A. all her life and graduated from the elite, all-girls Marlborough School, located in Hancock Park. “Certainly the experiences and situations...

Active experimentation on a global scale is the only way to refine the current model of online advertising and distribution into something that can support the costly day-to-day operations of the networks without an extreme dropoff in the quality of their products.

Conservatism needs mass media too, to affect day-to-day politics: jam phone lines and pull the national conversation rightward. It needs Limbaugh and the many like-minded talkers elsewhere on the airwaves. Doubtless they could do their jobs better, as could the conservative writers who scorn them. But if Limbaugh did not exist, conservatives would...
