...chin and peel back that immobile, monochromatic, oddly smooth face to reveal the lizard beneath." For Hertzberg, who was Jimmy Carter's chief speechwriter, Ronald Reagan's genius was to "paste a smiley-face on Armageddon's grinning skull." An American liberal, he combines the verve of Joe Klein with the precision of Michael Kinsley. Few in deadline journalism consistently display Hertzberg's grace or humor...
...enjoyed columnist Joe Klein's "Why Newt Is So Much Fun to Watch" [April 24], on Gingrich's tour in New Hampshire. I would vote for him for President in a New York minute. It's too bad he left Congress. Had he stayed, he would have pushed through the fiscal reforms that Republicans thought they were going to get when they elected Bush.

The premise of the first book has Bertha Snodgrass, the grade-school-age daughter of the island's governor, deciding to buy a slave...

Moss, 32, the face of the fragrance since 2002, lost modeling contracts with Burberry and H&M last year after a London tabloid ran photos of her allegedly snorting cocaine. But Moss's career is rebounding, and she will appear in an upcoming Calvin Klein campaign with, coincidentally, Knightley's ex, male model Jamie Dornan. Knightley, 21, says she's "thrilled to follow the extraordinary women who have been associated with [Chanel]," like Nicole Kidman and Catherine Deneuve. And, really, who can sniff at that...
