Kevin, What is wrong with being an “elite." It serves many people well. If you are an “elite" you get to do things without working. For instance, a friend of mine got into law school despite having LSATs under 160 because his parents donated a lot of money. Indeed, I asked a pool of people (randomly selected from outside a coffee shop) who scored under 160, if they would refuse an offer of admission to an “elite" law school if they knew that they were getting in because they were “elite" and none of them said no! Amazing. Likewise, “elites" run our government, schools, hospitals, and just about everything. Quite well, I might add. Or, Kevin, are “elites" like “trial lawyers" the new bogeyman that you blame everything on? Larry, at 11:35 am EST on March 27, 2006 .

Obama's Hispanderama
Now I can shape the national political debate. The only way I could exert more influence would be if I were president." David Brooks had a point! ... P.S.: And Mark Warner certainly seeems to not want to piss him off. ... 4:17 P.M. "Jeez. Why are you spending so much time on Kos," I'm often asked by exasperated readers. "We come to your site for Burkle." Good point! ... In this month's Los Angeles, Steve Oney takes you inside Team Burkle as PR man Mike Sitrick and his billionaire client have a conference call to decide whether to tell the truth. ... P.S.: It turns out Burkle didn't actually write the WSJ op-ed piece that appeared under his name. It was "ghosted by Sitrick." Who knew? Needless to say, the piece called for stricter journalistic standards of ethics.

FEATURE - Olympics - World champion Rawlinson in juggling act
The 25-year-old juggles motherhood with her job of running round in circles and skimming the top of hurdles and she is one of the favourites to win gold at the Beijing Olympics. Rawlinson was strongly fancied to win in Athens four years ago before a knee injury ruined her chances. She underwent surgery a week before the Games and could manage only fifth in the final, competing under her maiden name Pittman. As in her chosen profession, her life has gone full circle since then. She married British hurdler Chris Rawlinson in 2006 and the couple had a son later that year. Marriage and motherhood did nothing to dampen her enthusiasm for athletics and her determination to win Olympic gold. She captured her second world title at Osaka last year and says she is determined to make amends for the disappointment of Athens when she lines up on the blocks at Beijing in August.
Our DVD guru raves about the new Blade Runner release
I am feeling very old right now. Blade Runner, a film I saw in its initial theatrical run when I was barely a teenager, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. More importantly, the film is being celebrated, properly, in a series of multi-DVD special editions from Warner Home Video. .
