...thin, anxious publicist hurries over to the table. “Please don’t take those!” she yells at the kids, shooing them away. I suppose the tykes need a hand-up, not a hand-out—but would the loss of a few Dubble Bubbles be so traumatic for an event whose sole ostensible purpose is to help out needy children?! The poor kids were probably exhausted from singing and just wanted something tasty for the ride home. The incident says wonders about who really benefits from a, um, benefit...
...Paul Farmer had the ignominious distinction of placing 101st on the list of the TIME 100 [April 26]. Stein suggested that the exclusion of Farmer, an infectious-disease specialist who spends most of his time at a charity hospital in Haiti, hinged on the selfless doctor's lacking "a publicist, agent, manager or even a stylist."

With Kidder as Farmer's credible biographer...

Unable to cope with his wife’s death or his new role as parent, Trinke immerses himself in work until his father, Bart (George Carlin), refuses to take care of Gertie any longer. Flustered, abandoned, and completely covered in baby powder, Trinke has a very public nervous breakdown at a news conference. Though Affleck should never attempt...
...problem with Farmer's career, it seemed to me, isn't so much that he's slacking at his job but that he doesn't have a publicist, agent, manager or even a stylist. He's probably missing all kinds of lists, like PEOPLE's Most Beautiful. After all, he's not a bad-looking guy, judging by pictures I've seen in magazine stories about him, and chicks love doctors. "Look what it did for George Clooney," I explained. Farmer joked that he had indeed made PEOPLE OF HAITI's Most Beautiful list. I was getting the feeling Farmer...
