I was given seven whole weeks at home. The entire month of September and half of October were mine, and with them I could do whatever I pleased. There were no long drives, no hotel rooms, no Taco Bells oand the subsequent odors I was forced to suffer in tight confines, no load-ins or soundchecks or set times. For 49 days I could, if I chose to, not sing a single note or listen to a solitary righteous guitar solo.

Christopher Hitchens died on December 15, 2011, at the height of his renown. His book God Is Not Great, released in 2007 and nominated for the National Book Award that same year, had vaulted him to a position of leadership in the New Atheism movement, along with the other three horsemen: Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Richard Dawkins. In 2010, he published his memoir, Hitch-22, which critics met with widespread acclaim.

For some reason, South Korea (with about one-sixth the men that America has) is the world’s largest consumer of male cosmetics, with its leading company approaching $1 billion a year in sales. According to a September Bloomberg Business Week dispatch, South Korean males became fascinated with the country’s 2002 World Cup soccer team’s “flower men,” who had smooth, flawless skin, and the craze took off from there.
