A spy at the Howard Dean shindig in Mill Valley Thursday reports that $62,000 was raised and that the guest list included "a critical mass of 'cultural creatives,' " including Ram Dass, Esalen-founder Michael Murphy, Paul Hawken, Peter Coyote and David Harris. Dean's campaign, apparently stressing that such events aren't about money, refuses to confirm the amount, and isn't it fun to get together for a weenie (the other candidates) roast?

"I don't think Orwell was a cake kind of person," says Stansky. "I don't think he paid too much attention to food, although there was a famous time in, I think the White Tower, a very upmarket Greek restaurant in Soho, when he changed places because he couldn't bear to look at Kingsley Martin, the editor of the New Statesmen.
