Is it just me, or does Tom Wolfe's new novel about college life seem like its pretension-to-achievement score will be surpass even the dreaded Ryan Adams ratio? Kakutani's hatchet job seems persuasive, but admittedly she hates a lot of books unreservedly, some of which are quite...

Still, the staggering idiocy of the following commentary is awe-inspiring. First, Roger Simon: That's why I think energizing the base is so important. Any little unexpected thing -- we thought the.
