The intersection between video and newspapers these days so its hard to say where its headed. I think we are in a stage where it still being figured out and with just bezos buying the post that is one stark example of one possible future for newspapers and everyone is doing their own version of it in terms of how they feel they will be able to grow their business for the future. They were able to support having certain number of journalists out on the street. As those companies have slunk, the number of journalists have gone away.

Now men as well as women and they dont think its a particularly raunchy book although 40 years ago it had that reputation. In 40 years it has never been out of print all over the world. New additions keep appearing and i think the reason is not because of the sex but because its extremely relatable. People see themselves in it and im very proud to have written it. Host what sparked your writing this book . Guest i cant tell you. I wrote it and rewrote it throughout my 20s. I wrote it from a mans point of view and from a womans point of view. I finally found the voice for it which was a new york wisecracking voice which is made partly. It was the new york kid on the couch. Wisecracking, full of yiddish and full of humor.
