"Barak is probably the most unique person I've met in terms of his range of skills," he explains. "Clinton is brilliant but nowhere near the mathematician or musician that Barak is."

He founded a magazine, not a particularly brilliant one, and by all accounts has had a grand time running it. He dated actress Daryl Hannah and then married a model-like fashion-industry darling, and finally all the girls in New York had to stop daydreaming about catching his eye in a crowded restaurant.
