Peter Kramer has a gift for timing. His last book, Listening to Prozac, came out as Prozac was reaching best-seller status, and soon joined it. His new book--a guide for people thinking about leaving their spouse or significant other--hits the bookstores as divorce is becoming an ever more contentious political issue...

...year-old Israeli boy who's terminally ill--and fitting in a little golfing, Clinton used much of the time for that great solitary pursuit, reading. He delved into Snow in August by Pete Hamill and The Heat Is On by Ross Gelbspan, while Hillary read best seller The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. And after all that, there was still time to admire the "very lovely sculpture" that Toiv announced Hillary got Bill for his birthday. Sometimes a vacation is just a vacation...
