...kind that lays bare the man and his motivations. George, Being George does the trick, in part by borrowing the form of Plimpton's own biographies of Capote and Edie Sedgwick (Jean Stein's Edie: American Girl, which he edited). Recognizing that Plimpton's spirit would suffocate under the weight of analytic prose, editor Nelson Aldrich Jr. interviewed more than 200 verbally dexterous Plimpton associates--from Norman Mailer (adoring) and Gay Talese (brutally adoring) to the Plimptons' nanny--and constructed a narrative out of their most entertaining paragraphs. It's biography as cocktail party...

Sure there are some bigots who will vote solely based on race, but to imply that for many Americans the economy and race are issues of comparable weight is simply insulting.

...accepting that they're overweight." So apparently it's healthy to love yourself as you are, but only if you're thin; if not, better keep up with that self-loathing! A study on dieting by the National Institutes of Health showed that virtually all dieters regained all the weight they lost within five years. Until the medical community can offer people effective solutions to obesity, I suggest that Gupta does not knock the self-acceptance route. Kelly Murphy, HUNTER...
...beautiful night. We had the perfect number of people for a human pyramid. There were six of us, varied enough in height and weight to make tiers without breaking anyone’s back.

After quite a bit of debate, shrieks, and near-arm-collapses, our pyramid existed for just a few moments. Then we dissolved into a jumble of limbs...
