...there is no mistaking that the essential landscape of the old master's life has changed. Police officers, who used to be the objects of rage and ridicule, are now necessary public servants: "Mr. Policeman, can you help me find my gal?/ Last time I saw her was at the Magnolia Hotel." Which raises the question: Did she wander off in an Alzheimic haze, or did Bob? After all, he now mourns that his "forgetful heart/ lost your power of recall...

...James Ellroy choose four pictures and explain why they did. A fuller version of these conversations are slated each Saturday, when Osborne and a year-long guest co-host movies from the collection in a series called The Essentials. So far his partners have been film historian and glamour gal Molly Haskell, writer-actress Carrie Fisher, actress Rose McGowen and multimedia bad-boy/cool-guy Alec Baldwin.

Mann is torn up about the economy and wants a Treasury Secretary he can trust. I know how he feels - things are really tough right now, you know? - but sometimes life isn't that simple. Sure, Paul Krugman looks like the guy every recession-weary gal dreams of, but it takes more than Princeton professor duds and a neatly trimmed beard to fix the economy.
