...where chill employees and an even chiller video (techno, anyone?) presented the company’s summer internships for juniors and job opportunities for graduates in fashion merchandising. “We want nice, smart people that understand our brand,” says college recruiter Josh R. Secrest, a 2004 Yale graduate. The smart sweeties that make it past the first-round interview will travel to A&F’s All-American, 400-acre campus in the woods of Ohio. As Derek Zoolander already copyrighted the “Walk-Off,” A&F has instead...
...Hart's impression was cartoonish, it was surely an animated cartoon. Everyone noticed his energy and felt its force. In Meryle Secrest's book "Somewhere for Me: A Biography of Richard Rodgers",Hammerstein is quoted as saying of Hart, "In all the time I knew him I never saw him walk slowly. I never saw his face in repose. I never heard him chuckle quietly. He laughed loudly and easily at other people's jokes and at his own too. He large eyes danced and his head would wag."

Faced with such hubris, Secrest is ever the earnest apologist. "Few people," she writes about a similar outburst, "realized how compensatory those comments actually were." But if anyone should be excused his megalomania, it was Frank Lloyd Wright. He created dozens of masterworks, and his influence on a century of architecture is unequalled. Low-slung suburban houses, cathedral ceilings, wide-open interiors, the blurring of the indoor-outdoor distinction, office...
