Writer Helaine Olen, in a New York Times article on July 17, caused a Web-wide stir when she described firing her nanny Tessy for blogging about the family. The Web consensus?

He's still on his feet at the end of They Whisper (Holt; 333 pages; $22.50), but he's moving slowly, like a man who has just bushwhacked through 20 miles of tidal marsh and who needs a hot shower and breakfast.
