Originally posted on More.com. For the record, I’m not suggesting that anyone try to give herself a brain tumor. (How would that even be possible? Tape your smartphone to your head? Slather your scalp with parabens?) But I can’t help thinking about the fact that for a handful of famous, already alluring women, a brain tumor diagnosis … [continue reading... ]  Comments: 2 comments May 28, 2012, 4:11 pm
Originally posted in the Danbury (Conn.) News-Times. Very near to Danbury there lived a true American war hero. His name was Rob J. Lytle Jr., and you may have heard of him when his obituary turned up in local newspapers in 2010.

Originally posted on Stamford magazine’s website. Dear Alex, Although I don’t know you, I saw you once on a very sad day almost two years ago, at your dad’s wake.

Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com. Like the rest of the world, I watched with horror as events unfolded in Tucson, resulting in the death of six people and critically injuring Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. As talk swirled of right-wing conspiracies and out-of-control anger, people of all backgrounds prayed for Giffords and wondered how she could possibly survive after … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment July 20, 2010, 1:00 am

I’d been credited with popularizing the word metrosexual (and spent countless hours obsessing on the next big thing so my tombstone didn’t say “commercialized metrosexual man”), and my annual … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment June 23, 2010, 9:12 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. I don’t need to tell you that the world has seen its share of change lately. We used to embrace change and make it happen (which entails pretty much everything before Sept. 11, 2001). Then we watched it from the sidelines (the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the various financial crises), … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment February 11, 2010, 12:53 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. The inaugural One Young World summit that concluded on Wednesday in London wasn’t just a gathering of hundreds of tomorrow’s world leaders.

 Originally posted on pnintelligentdialogue.com. One of the biggest winners at the 2009 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in June was a brand the whole world has quickly grown to love: Barack Obama. Actually it was his presidential campaign, headed up by David Plouffe, that won two major awards. The news sent my thoughts racing. Although I’m a … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment |
