Bisexually Yours: The White House

There is nothing like stout Christians to make your eyes pop out. A book about Jackie Kennedy Onassis has become the who slept with whom in the family. And while it digs dirt in new and old directions, it manages to leave out some older tattle tales well-known in the 1960s. I don't promote this book as a serious biography, but it was great fun to read. Get your share of the Kennedy clan, the Bouvier family and Rudolf Nureyev leading each other an elaborate dance.

Arthur Miller and The Witch Hunt

Arthur Miller died in 2005 at the age of 89, and the reactions were not universally of grief. Lights were dimmed on Broadway and one paper cleared its front page, but several dissenters made themselves heard over the empty rituals of public praise. The most famous of America’s playwrights had always called forth divided reactions from critics and public, so reactions after his death were in keeping with that.
