...other hand, says Washington columnist Marianne Means, Kitty is "very warm. She's not secretive, but she doesn't talk about herself a lot. She's fun to be with." Jack Limpert, editor of Washingtonian magazine, which lists Kelley on the masthead, says, "She's a relentless reporter. You've got to give it to her. She works very hard." Limpert does not discuss the widespread conviction of other journalists, as well as Kelley's own subjects, that she too frequently fails to bring perspective or analysis to the fruits of her reporting and at times lards her work with...

This brought her to the attention of New Jersey celebrity-book publisher Lyle Stuart, who sent her off to do a job on Jackie Onassis.

The argument is usually couched in moral terms: having repeatedly called on Iraqis to overthrow Saddam, the U.S. is disgracing itself by standing idly by while those who heeded its word are slaughtered...
...like to be like you?" to the bitchy Monica. When downcast, Maggie does not lash out but retreats to her room, where yet another chapter ends with quiet tears or staring at the ceiling. She is someone waiting to be -- a writer is hinted, maybe even a columnist. Quindlen's flaw is one of meticulousness: the smart energy of her journalist's voice is missing. But surely she knows that good novels have been written at kitchen tables...
