Historians have long complained that Kennedy's inner circle has been secretive and worse about his health. While preparing his 1993 book President Kennedy: Profile of Power, Richard Reeves requested access to J.F.K.'s medical records but was refused. He did succeed in interviewing the surgeons who performed the 1954 back operation, as well as Dr. Hans Kraus, who oversaw J.F.K.'s physical therapy in the last months of his presidency. "All of them told me they were asked to destroy certain records," says Reeves. "And they...
Capellas started job hunting this summer, says an industry insider knowledgeable about HP's inner workings, partly because the firm's reorganization had left him with little to do. Two other executives have largely directed day-to-day operations, says this source, while Capellas spent most of his time on the road, reassuring large clients.

Harrison could always write a memorable guitar line, and he does...
...Crazed is narrated by Jian Wan, a literature grad student whose transformation is at the center of the novel. Rational to the point of detachment, yet endowed with the seeds of a turbulent inner life, he's an ideal if slightly tiresome mouthpiece for Jin's realist voice. When his mentor, Professor Yang, suffers an "unsettling" stroke, Jian dutifully cares for him but worries that the job will interfere with his upcoming exams. Unlike his passionate professor, who suffered in the Cultural Revolution for declaring that Goethe was a great poet, Jian barely cares for literature, studying only...
