Still, those efforts haven’t stopped Hollywood moguls from churning out asteroid-themed blockbusters. “I went and watched Deep Impact, but I didn’t watch Armageddon,” said Spahr. “For Armageddon, I helped them do a promo, and we tried to tell them that it was pretty dumb. A Texas-sized asteroid was going to hit in what, two weeks? That would be as bright as Jupiter in the sky. You would go outside and go, ‘Oh crap, an asteroid...
...done, but I'm tired of the reaction they get." That Esquire shoot, it turns out, was a nightmare. (She claims the magazine gave her photo approval and then ran pictures without her blessing - something Esquire denies.)

We ran out of uncharted land, but we didn't run out of the urge for self-reinvention. So we turned that desire inward in ever tighter circles, expressing our idealized selves through our homes, our clothes and our bodies...
...those insufferably gifted people who can dabble in this and that and do it all well, as can be seen in the professorially cluttered study in the Victorian flat he shares with his wife Elizabeth, their two daughters and a Tonkinese cat called Gordon. There are promo leaflets for the Italian translations of Mma Ramotswe, as his heroine is called according to Botswana etiquette; tomes on law and medicine; a report from Britain's Human Genetics Commission (he's vice chairman); dozens of his children's books (the first success was The Perfect Hamburger); and several saxophones (he plays bassoon...
