Revenge of the Mouseburger

From 2009: Florence King reviews a biography of Helen Gurley Brown. An excerpt:

Helen Gurley Brown combines the deftness of a Talleyrand with a compulsive girlishness that, during her 32 years as editor-in-chief, made her italicize every word having the slightest emotional context and decorate Cosmo’s breathless copy with strings of exclamation marks. To call her a study in contradictions is an understatement because there are more than two of her, but Jennifer Scanlon never meets an incarnation that fazes her in her recounting of what she calls a “delightfully knotty life story.”
