that not only are men genetically
5.28
332.3
polygamous unable to be faithful they
6
336.3
have nobody have no choice in the matter
9.67
337.58
but women are genetically wired so that
7.44
342.3
they will fall for rich or prominent men
4.59
347.25
I used to think this was conniving on
6.09
349.74
their part but but it's not this is a
8.76
351.84
purely genetic process and and if they
6.51
355.83
are you know if they're caught in the
5.22
360.6
wrong place at the wrong time
6.06
362.34
they can just say well look it wasn't me
6.87
365.82
I'm just a lifeguard in the in the gene

pool Wolf's own life is spectacularly
6.21
372.69
private married to the same woman for 20
6.12
375.45
years to children now in their teens his
4.65
378.9
own gene pool includes some strains of
4.469
381.57
southern Gentry his youth was spent
4.86
383.55
comfortably in Richmond Virginia his
5.311
386.039
mother taught him about art his father
5.999
388.41
inspired his interest in writing Woolf
5.79
391.35
went to Yale earned a PhD and hoped on
3.521
394.409
graduation to start the great American

397.93
in the next month I'm writing obituaries
4.829
400.09
in some town called Springfield
4.949
401.5
Massachusetts and I never knew from day
4.231
404.919
to day what kind of story I was going to
4.981
406.449
be put on it made you realize it you can
4.5
409.15
go up to total strangers and ask them
4.32
411.43
questions did they you have no right to
4.35
413.65
expect them to answer from the
4.71
415.75
Springfield Union to every American
5.789
418
reporters dream back then the New York
5.31
420.46
Herald Tribune the writers paper he
4.38
423.789
helped invent something called the New
5.429
425.77
Journalism in which the reporters
5.911
428.169
impressions became part of the story the
6.271
431.199
1970 report called radical chic was a
5.28
434.08
landmark in excruciating detail he
6.09
437.47
described a party thrown for the Black
6.24
439.36
Panthers by Park Avenue liberals hmm
4.35
443.56
these are nice little Roquefort cheese
4.89
445.6
morsels rolled in crushed nuts very
5.039
447.91
tasty very subtle it's the way the dry
4.95
450.49
sac eNOS of the nuts tiptoes up against
5.34
452.949
the door saver of the cheese that's so
4.74
455.44
nice so subtle well know what the Black
4.35
458.289
Panthers eat here on the order of trail
5.82
460.18
there is they're threatening jaundiced
7.471
462.639
eye looking at every aspect every detail
8.639
466
every color button the kind of napkins
7.2
470.11
on the table and somehow making these
7.171
474.639
what some might regard as extraneous
5.94
477.31
details reveal the character of the sort
4.52
481.81
of person who lives in that environment
6.51
483.25
and I will confess to the occasional
6.1
486.33
thrust of satire he wasn't the fly on
6.18
489.76
the wall at the party he was a dapper
4.979
492.43
and hungry wasp on the wall people
3.33
495.94
looked at me with a kind of hostility
4.351
497.409
they couldn't do anything about and why
7.25
499.27
I found this enjoyable I can't tell you
4.76
501.76
the story will continue after this
6.121
508.949
clothes may not make the man but they go
5.729
511.8
a long way in describing him meticulous
6.089
515.07
is probably the work my impression of is
5.93
517.529
writing up a little bit right there mr.
5.881
521.159
Nicolosi his tailor would agree
6.13
523.459
beautiful his since cover the full
5.4
527.04
spectrum of white from cream to a
6.75
529.589
lighter shade of pale and he does not
5.639
532.44
apologize for his father well as Mark
5.581
536.339
Twain once said he was someone who
5.51
538.079
enjoyed white suits and he said one
5.03
541.92
thing I would hate to be as conspicuous
7.631
543.589
he says but I do want to be noticed
7.36
546.95
noticed he is a new wolf book is both a
5.6
551.22
cultural and social event the full New
5.79
554.31
York literary industrial complex
6.459
556.82
faithfully pays homage just the kind of
5.37
560.1
party you'd want Tom wolf to cover the
4.891
563.279
way he covered Upper East Side vanities
3.66
565.47
or the macho world of astronauts in the
4.38
568.17
right stuff
7.56
569.13
speaking of which Tom wolf still seems
6.99
572.55
too heavy in a man in fault is a sharp
5.13
576.69
and acid as ever he was only 44 but
4.049
579.54
already running too fat his head popped
4.32
581.82
up out of his blazer and his polo shirt
5.071
583.589
like a bubble his skin was pallid in
4.559
586.14
pasty a few strands of hair the color of
4.65
588.66
orange juice stains skinned back across
4.981
590.699
his otherwise of all pate just over two
4.649
593.31
years ago still riding a man in full it
5.88
595.68
looked like Tom Wolfe was washed up for
5.851
597.959
good a massive heart attack in bonfire
5.459
601.56
of the vanities wolf could have been
6.54
603.81
describing his own last gasp a man dying
5.551
607.019
o mortality probably a heart attack to
4.049
610.35
that deep fear lodged in the bosom of
