Book Suggestions for This Week's Headline Makers

by Claire Luchette

These people made their way into this busy week's headlines—and they must be exhausted. No better time to curl up with a good book, right? Here, let us guide their Amazon purchases:

Janet Napolitano, catch a wave! As the incumbent president of the University of California system, you will totally fit in surf-side. Read Brian Wilson's gnarly autobiography and channel your inner Beach Boy.

Tomato eaters of Argentina, I am so sorry that your government asked you to cut back. Here is a book about mustard, because who really needs lycopene?

Rand Paul, you coy bastard, toying with us about your thoughts of a presidential run! How you tease. Have some conviction, Randy, like The Kid Who Ran For President. Like the 12-year-old candidate, you are totally ill-fit, but he may give you some pointers in appearing likable.
