...don’t really know the causes. It’s sort of a chicken-and-egg question about whether you produce something people really don’t want to see or whether people don’t want to see it because they’ve gotten used to something much more superficial. I heard commentators all the time, almost with some embarrassment, explaining why it was that we were watching so many minutes of the determination of who Anna Nicole Smith’s baby’s father was—inconsequential to everybody?...

"She was very much of the early Dr. [Martin Luther] King era," Obama says. "She believed that people were all basically the same under their skin, that bigotry of any sort was wrong and that the goal was then to treat everybody as unique individuals." Ann gave her daughter, who was born in 1970, dolls of every hue: "A pretty black girl with braids, an Inuit, Sacagawea, a little Dutch boy with clogs," says Soetoro-Ng, laughing. "It was like...
