...Bush has become so smooth with the Oprah language of caring (against Gore's tin ear for it) that he got the biggest applause of the night on David Letterman last Thursday when he repeated the "trust" mantra. Indeed, when Gore in the debate brought up the Dingell-Norwood bill, a bipartisan effort to solve the HMO problem, he might as well have pulled a shiny chrome instrument out of his back pocket and performed an invasive procedure on one of the Undecideds. In the face of details, Bush seeks refuge in his own good intentions, expressed in a warm...
...With "Poisonwood" still riding near the top of paperback charts, thanks at least in part to its June selection by the Oprah Book Club, here comes Kingsolver's new novel, "Prodigal Summer" (HarperCollins; 444 pages; $26), which is something of a return to the author's earlier form.

There were no brilliant shafts of light, no trumpets sounding, no beating of wings, none of the spectacular revelations that Hollywood films and Oprah segments have conditioned us to expect along the passage to the other side. When Everlast suffered a coronary two years ago at age 29, it was lights out--fade to black. His doctors saved him by putting him into a deep freeze--a kind of virtual death--so they could stop his damaged heart and repair it. He awoke in a hospital three days later...
...just the latest Fendi bag, the snazziest python boots or the newest Prada ensemble. It's not even telling it all on Oprah. No, what's really trendy this season among celebrities is writing a children's book...
