Re: FW: request from news media

Cronies:

Let's see... the NYT reporter wants to speak only to cronies who are women

between the ages of 18 and 43.

Since it's highly unlikely he's found plenty of women over 43 and men of all

ages without also finding women in their 20s and 30s, I'll bet he's planning an

article that includes (without limitation, as the lawyers say) something like

this: " women who want to stay young, and who diet to extremes to do it, and how

that reflects our society's obsessions with youth and fat and objectifying women

into self-destructiveness, etc., etc. " I'll lay odds that's where he's headed.
