...Oppenheimer, whose credits include unauthorized biographies of Martha Stewart and Barbara Walters, doggedly interrogates Seinfeld's childhood pals, ex-girlfriends and business partners in search of an answer. But the only picture he can come up with is of an almost eerily boring individual, an emotional recluse and a relentless workaholic whom a colleague once labeled a robo-comic. The book suffers from a total lack of access to the man and his famous co-stars, as well as from Oppenheimer's egregious sub-tabloid prose--he wouldn't know an elegant phrase if it sued him for libel...
...gone out to die on a suicide mission and leave his family without a wage earner. And though he is religious, like most Palestinians, he is no fundamentalist with dreams of paradise. Jobless because Israel no longer allows laborers like him to enter the country to work, faced with relentless television images of Israeli violence and surrounded by poverty, death and despair, he awaits the order that will end his life. "Every member of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is ready to infiltrate Israeli settlements or be martyred in any operation," he says quietly, without boastfulness. "These operations are not just...
...Bush is a nation with a very loose grip on reality. And a man who turns 60 and tells you he never felt better is delusional.

While her career flourished, Carter's private life was rocked by a sequence of injury, illness, divorce and other disasters so relentless and extensive that it would be almost laughable if it hadn't been so painful. Carter, 57, now the editor in chief of My Generation, looks back on it all in a new memoir, Nothing to Fall Back On: The Life and Times of a Perpetual Optimist (Hyperion). As her subtitle...
...stunted man who so badly wants to reconnect with a childhood friend that he stalks him. In this year's teen comedy Orange County, he was an unctuous, semiliterate English teacher. In The Good Girl, he's a born-again security guard with a crooked grin and a suspiciously relentless evangelism. ("I'm not a pagan, but thanks anyway!" he says when co-workers wish him a happy Halloween...
