Jack Nicholson: "My Motto Is: More Good Times"

Jack Nicholson: "My Motto Is: More Good Times"

They’re prescription. That’s why I wear them. A long time ago, the Middle American in me may have thought it was a bit affected maybe. But the light is very strong in southern California. And once you’ve experienced negative territory in public life, you begin to accept the notion of shields. I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye. But I can’t look into the eye…

James Salter - The Greatest Writer You've Never Read

James Salter - The Greatest Writer You've Never Read

"The world's only 87-year-old sex symbol," is how a guest described the writer James Salter to me last night. She wasn't joking. There he was, in the middle of the room, straight backed, elegant in blazer and tie, a glass of red wine in his hand, surrounded by adoring men and women, smiling graciously, signing books, gently playing everything down.
