• Fareed Zakaria: “What books are on your night stand? ... Right now, I have three: a collection of columns by the great journalist Walter Lippmann, from the period around World War I (edited by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.); Dean Acheson's "Sketches From Life of Men I Have Known," the former secretary of state's portraits of some of his contemporaries; and W. H. Auden's "Collected Poems." They're all wonderfully written, and I can put any of them down after 15 minutes, sated and ready for bed.”
