People Go on Holiday in August

If you're looking for Frank Rich's New York Times column this week, you're not going to find it. I don't know if he'll be taking the entire month of August off, but he's not there today. If you still need some sort of a weekly Rich fix, you can take a look at an early review of his book, The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina, from Kirkus Reviews. That book is due out on September 26.
