profiles in courage
This month's
Vogue—the one with not-so-reformed shoplifter Winona Ryder on the cover—profiles
Hillary Clinton's traveling chief-of-staff
Huma Abedin, in an article that both reveals more and says less about Abedin than the
Observer's April profile of her. (The
Observer piece, as
Vogue helpfully points out, was done without Abedin's cooperation.) Abedin comes across as an incredibly effective, stylish, attractive, über-woman without whom her boss would be lost. (This is accurate!) And also a control freak. There's this telling bit when the writer, Rebecca Johnson, is allowed to look at Abedin's BlackBerry—but only if she agrees not to write who's in it. ("Some of the most famous names in America." Mmkay!) But then, why the non sequitur about
John Cusack and Lance Armstrong?
