...suitemates hotly debate so-called “liberated sex.” “Oh, fuck politics,” declares suitemate Maeve. Darling describes how a “little thrill runs through the room. The word is still scandalous, brand new, and bright with squalor.” Yet despite its opening, “Necessary Sins” isn’t actually a memoir about Harvard, but rather one from that so-hot-right-now, sex-filled, “personal” variety.

...satirical knives come thick and fast: Blair's shock at the squalor of the state-run hospital he has to attend when he gets sick; the steely disdain of the PM's wife Cherie (played by Phoebe Nicholl) for the Browns, who are moving into No. 10 Downing; the alacrity with which the U.S. drops Blair by agreeing to a U.N resolution to set up a special tribunal for aggressors in Iraq in order to prove its new enlightened foreign policy credentials. "We're going to say some unpleasant things about you," the U.S. ambassador in London tells Blair...
