...throwaway lines that can bring People items to life are also sought over lunch and by telephone. Calling up Barbra Streisand or Paul Newman can be difficult. "It's not easy to get that one good quote from a celebrity," says him up at Macintosh, noon."

The precise-writing journalist, the university sage, the charismatic politician: in each case power is wielded by the few versus...
