Suddenly obsessed with Coral Browne. Must every book on my Amazon wish list fall under fag-hagiography?

It must have been done already, but somebody must curate a film series about newspaper columnists...evil/evil-ish ones. Addison DeWitt, Waldo Lydecker, J.J. Hunsecker, Sheridan Whiteside...
Which brings us back to WFB, I guess--not the evil part; those columnists were all about lying in their public face...Buckley/political columnists can't really do that, whatever you think of them. Maybe the kind of power he wielded or life he occupied falls into those old-fashioned cinematic paradigms at bit, though. Every day at the typewriter. I have found some of his comments about the Iraq war to have been spot-on.
