...afternoon comments proved to be just the opening salvo before a much bigger blast later in the day. The keynote speaker for the evening dinner was Joyce Carol Oates. who delivered a lively speech about her book Boxing, preceded by a long, esoteric meander through the history of the modern essay. In the midst of her lecture, Oates appeared to make a subtle criticism of Winfrey, whose book club has had a huge effect on the book-selling business.

...Giuliani is strangely low key. He hasn't yet outlined a campaign speech. He tends to meander from one talking point to the next, in a way that certainly isn't formal but isn't quite conversational either. Even these talking points seem improvised. I recently heard him address a big meeting of conservatives in Washington at which he chose to emphasize free-market competition to improve public schools.
