Do you remember the mention of all the different jobs his mother held, ending as college text-book editor? She worked at the publishing company where I worked from 1998 to 2001, though I think she was gone by 1998, and we were in different divisions of the company, anyway. My teammate on my current job worked with her; she described her as "kind of flaky." She said Ethan did xeroxing for them. ;D
Front-Ranger:
Interesting! He seems to be very close with his mother.

Yes. In fact, apparently it was more than just indecent exposure. He was, er, multitasking.
That's a ridiculous thing to do. Still, I feel sorry for him. What a thing to happen to a guy with an otherwise illustrious career.
Front-Ranger:
I haven't read about the details, but my theory is that the male sex drive is quite the powerful and uncontrollable thing. I also wonder if a midlife crisis works in to this.
During a break, I read "Three Fathers" by Ann Patchett in the October 5 issue. Gosh, she is a very good writer. She had two stepfathers in addition to her biological father and one of them was envious of her writing ability. And success. I encountered that situation with my younger sister. She was jealous of my writing ability and it strained our relationship for a long time.

Powerful, maybe. Uncontrollable, that's debatable.
