Timothy Noah and Marjorie Williams

Entry 48:

Dear Marjorie,

Erin Aubrey was making more than just the Socially Acceptable point that black and Hispanic actresses don't get enough good roles in Hollywood (a sentiment I heartily, if somewhat perfunctorily, endorse). That's why her Salon piece was so good. But I'll leave it at that. What a sweet story about your father.

It was really fun going to the movies with you. Out of Sight is a really good movie. And Jennifer Lopez has a very large and attractive butt.

Love,

Tim
