...Bush falls in love with his secretary, appointing Cheney to find him a mate and discovering his true love was right there all along. Loyalty, compatibility, competence - Cheney's got them all, along with three past heart attacks and a profile that's somehow more chief of staff than veep.

"Typefaces have a viral quality," says Hoefler. "It's always amazing to see where they wind up and how they transform the things they inhabit." Adds Frere-Jones: "When you're designing a typeface, you're not really making...
...commentary on the sights of the city. As if that wasn't proof enough, I later discovered I was the ultimate tourist when I schlepped through endless souvenir shops searching for the perfect Union Jack pencil case for my sister, boxers for my boyfriend and tie for my dad. Somehow I didn't mind examining every London beer stein and every London magnet in every single store while my friend looked ready to strangle me along with every other foreigner in sight...
