David Gergen: The Bridge to Nowhere


Above is my book proposal in its entirety for an unauthorized biography of the great middliator. No publisher should need more than this to finalize the deal and send me off to the breathing death of actually having to write the dreadful thing. The pain of it all only bitterer from knowing that Rolling Stone had an even better title for their profile of Clinton-era Gergen-- All the Presidents' Man.

Of course my title is so '07-'08. Maybe David Gergen: The Bride of Nowhere.

Rome, Germany


"For years, Il Duce has been adjuring his subjects to "like like lions." In Italy, lions customarily live in cages. The Italians are now living like lions."
-Janet Flanner, Come Down, Guiseppe (from the Italian section of Janet Flanner's World).

I was reading the same book of Janet's wartime European reporting when I last posted here many months ago (but only a couple inches below). I just finished it. I put books down, start other ones, pick them up again, start a few more. Down and up and down again they go. I finish most at some point. The ones I abandon entirely I give up on fast. Janet's book is much better than most. Janet's books are much better than most. Her coverage of the Nuremberg trials, collected in Janet Flanner's World for the first time, is the best journalism I've ever read. The book she didn't write about those trials would probably have been her greatest and kept her name alive more reliably than her forty years of reporting from Paris for the New Yorker. But let me do my part. Janet Flanner. Janet Flanner. Janet Flanner.
