...original bad boy celebrity chef (yes, we have those), Anthony Bourdain rose to fame after writing a memoir about how the restaurant industry is a bitch and now spends his time gallivanting around foreign countries and squirming as he tastes the weirdest stuff Food Network producers can find. In his new book, he appears to be doing more of the same while looking as fashionably ratty as ever.

Hillary's liberalism has a more admonitory edge, in keeping with her buttoned-up demeanor. In her memoir, Living History, she writes that she was tasked in grade school with keeping the "incorrigible boys" in line, a role that seems entirely in character. Conservatives bristle at the sense of being told what to do, and they detect a tone of moral superiority in her advocacy of children's programs and health care. When...
