The XX Factor: What women really think.

Paul Hofmann, RIP

John Tagliabue has written a wonderful obit for Paul Hofmann, "author and foe of Nazis,'' as the headline summing up his life puts it. I knew him a little in Rome, and he was also one of those ageless charmers and know-er of interesting stuff that the world was already way too short on. Great guy, and life so well-lived that ... but no, absolutely not, sorry for even thinking it.
