...course, the dirty little secret here is that not all models have to be thin. It's one of the cruelest axioms of fashion that once you get big, you can get big. If Tyra Banks shows up for a shoot with a little extra poundage, they just touch her up later. Kate Moss could, if she wished, balloon all the way up to 100 lbs., and she'd still get work. But little Nadya Abouttofallova eats one pork rind, and she's on the first plane back to Uzbekistan. It's hard to feel sympathy for people who make...

She got to know them as intimately as they would permit, moving quickly beyond their hobbies and children's names. With her soft touch and sisterly concern, she often picked up more information than the hospital psychologists. Captain Katie knew if a soldier was checking out Internet dating services, fighting with a spouse, fretting about bills, or struggling to knot a tie with one hand. She made a habit of staying up at night to acquaint...
