I Am Charlotte Simmons

Well, not exactly, but there are more similarities that I would like. I just finished Tom Wolfe's latest novel about the students at (the fictional) Dupont University, presumably based upon Duke University, and it is a fabulous work.

It was a very different place and time, but the basic issues of growing up and finding one's place in the world are timeless.

Very well written.

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

Blair Defeated and boredom with the media

Is anybody other than the media one bit interested in 'Blair's Defeat' - how he put his 'personal authority' on the line, how his 'leadership is under pressure', blah, blah, blah.
