...Once again, Wolfe is America's own inspired and intrepid reporter. This volume takes its title from the first essay, entitled "Hooking Up: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the Second Millennium: An American's World." Here, Wolfe touches on the themes he will take on in the rest of the book, topics like the Internet, art, sex in America, "intellectuals" (what are those?), the culture of Silicon Valley, and the strange habits of deconstructionists. After all, what better material for entertainment than that which is actually happening and unfolding around you? So goes the mantra...
Nothing says summer in Cambridge like gentle riverside breezes, tall glasses of ice cold lemonade, rapists, spies and the Spanish Inquisition. Ahhh... Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theater (HRST). For the past three months, an intrepid team of undergraduate artisans has entertained the greater Boston community (and those few souls unable to seasonally escape our hallowed halls). In their efforts they drew upon British wordsmith Tom Stoppard, American literary (figuratively) giant Tennessee Williams and Dale Wasserman's musical classic Man of La Mancha...
Sitting in the Peruvian airport, listening to the avid beliefs of one, intrepid Colombian woman, I was embarrassed to admit my own nation advocated ruthless military aid as a "solution" to a much more complicated problem of poverty and political beliefs.

An intrepid web surfer had rummaged through CBS' web site and discovered that among pictures of the cast members, a certain picture of Gervase (the lazy one) did not have a certain red X over his face. Winner? Saying it was probably a CBS-engineered red herring, I nevertheless passed it on to readers of this site last week. (As for the Gervase "red X" theory...
...talking about their favorite subject: themselves! The assembled press purred like kittens at a milk-truck spill at the Wednesday Q&A session on Wolf's forthcoming NBC drama, "Deadline." The drama stars Oliver Platt as a headstrong New York tabloid columnist who solves crimes with an intrepid group of journalism students. Never mind that we've seen nothing of the show except a couple-minutes-long trailer, or that it sounds like one of the more implausible premises for week-in, week-out crime-solving since "Scooby Doo." The fourth estate was much more interested in hearing which...
