The review of the bachelor's book mentioned in a previous article
was by Cyra McFadden.  She is the author of "Serial," probably
the funniest article I ever read while eating cereal.  [For those
not in the know, "Serial" was orignally published in the San
Francisco Chronicle one episode a day.  The SF Chron is a morning
rag and McFadden's daily shot at life in wonderful Marin County
made each morning a little brighter.  The articles were collected
into a paperback.  Also, a poor but funny movie with Tuesday Weld,
Tommy Smothers, and other comic types was made from the book.  Worth
seeing once.]

McFadden is a particularly incisive observer of modern America.
I read everything I can of hers.  She never lets loose language
or loose thinking get by.  The bachelor book review was
just about perfect.  And our previous reporter was right;
a similar book came out in Houston perhaps a year and a half ago.
Seems to be a booming business.
