Inteviewing a wiving wegend

The book is so chock-full of news and quasi entertainment that it’s tempting just to start quoting some of it, even if out of context (kind of like running attention-grabbing promos for a prime-time magazine show): “I developed the bladder of a camel.” “All I could think of was Nietzsche’s belief in a superior being.” “The swami was sitting on the floor in the lotus position, playing with his toes.” “The Bay of Pigs was a pick-me-up for everyone.” “I sometimes said, ‘Enough with the penises.’ ” “Mrs. Clinton is quite small on top but rather large in the hips.” The last one was not lifted out of context.
