	'Gore Vidal: A Biography' by Fred Kaplan
		Fred Kaplan begins his mammoth biography of Gore Vidal -- the novelist, essayist, playwright, politician, historian, actor and conscience of America -- with the one subject his protagonist fears and in the one place he never wants to be.
		In high school, Kaplan writes, Vidal displayed a mix of “compulsive overstatement and unembarrassed self-projection.” That’s one of Kaplan’s many concise evaluations of Vidal, a knack that frees him of the need to interpret his subject’s every move.
		Kaplan writes elegantly, presenting his metaphors with precision and his characters with shrewd analyses.

		Biographer Kaplan (Dickens: A Biography, LJ 9/1/88; Thomas Carlyle: A Biography, LJ 11/15/83) brings us a lucid and vibrant account of the novelist's creative imagination as well as his renowned personal life.

	Garfield Ridge: Fred Kaplan's Least Favorite Defense Programs. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Slate's Fred Kaplan concludes his analysis of the Fiscal Year 2006 defense budget ("Rummy's Got a Secret") by listing a number of programs that he in his infinite wisdom deems are less worthy than whatever defense efforts he believes America should fund.
		What matters is why Kaplan thinks these programs are unnecessary; I would suspect his reasons run contrary to prudence and logic.
		The only thing Fred Kaplan ever seems to really think hard about is how he's going to portray ever single military decision as further evidence of the incompetence of those he politically disagrees with.

	'The Essential Gore Vidal' Edited by Fred Kaplan
		Instead, the distinguished English professor Fred Kaplan of Queens College has penned a lucid 20-page introduction, as well as a rather detailed chronology of Vidal’s professional life and brief comments throughout the text before each thematically organized section.
		Kaplan, who is writing a biography of Vidal, provides a most illuminating springboard into the writing, contributing sound scholarship, sturdy accolades and deft context.
		He calls the mature Vidal “an angry and disappointed utopian with a strong practical sense,” which is perhaps the most concise explication of the author’s heart and mind that you’re likely to find.

		I'm not sure this really represents a significant knock on Kinsley's column since Kaplan basically says "Well, now we have the hard proof documentation that supports what everyone really knew even though the administration was being coy about the chances of war."
		What of the second half of the key quote from the Downing Street Memo of July 23?that Bush wanted war, justified by WMD and terrorism, but "the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy"?

		However, there is a second, more cynical, and, alas, more plausible theory: He's putting out a proposal that's deliberately out-to-lunch, in order to distract the debate from more reasonable resolutions, to deflect attacks on Bush, and to discourage the whole idea of organizational reform.
		It seems that Fred Kaplan is more concerned with criticizing Republicans that he is about reforming our intelligence gathering and analysis.
		However, I do think Kaplan is channeling a lot of the (initial) reaction to Roberts plan, felt by many on the Hill and especially at Langley.

		Fred Kaplan recreates the world of Henry James: his friendships with Edith Wharton and Joseph Conrad, his love of all things exquisite--including exquisite writing--and his quest for understanding human nature.
		This is not entirely implausible, given the sexual oddness of most of the James clan.
		However, Kaplan could have written a much shorter and more engaging book had he refrained from prurient speculation that rarely adds anything to the elegance of James's work.
