Graydon Carter, the greatest magazine editor of the last 40 years. No question. He cut his teeth at Time, co-founded the wicked Spy, ushered in a 24K golden age at Vanity Fair, and then brainstormed AIR MAIL. Brilliant, passionate, daring—one couldn’t have a better boss than Carter. Now his memoir is here, When the Going was Good. Gay Talese calls it a “tour de force,” perhaps not knowing that “tour de force” is on GC’s list of banned words and phrases. Come hear Carter unpack the book with Bette Midler. —Laura Jacobs
