But if you know, you know. During an early-September lunch in an outdoor covered booth on the Upper East Side, I noticed two middle-aged women walking past us six or seven times, staring at Couric, who had just come from the hospital where her 25-year-old daughter, Carrie, was being treated for an infection.

But Going There also subverts that gaze. Couric is fascinated by the visceral realities of female bodies. Her pages brim with descriptions of her self-induced vomiting, her daughter’s explosive diarrhea, the surgery to reduce her fibrocystic breasts . When she was breast-feeding her children, she writes, her areolae were “yarmulke-size” ; in her version of a “stupid human trick,” she would sometimes give herself “a squeeze and squirt milk across the room.

It has been a decade since she left CBS, but her frustration and self-recrimination about not landing the plane that was the evening-news broadcast remain palpable. In our conversations, we discussed how CBS could have covered the publication of her book, with Couric noting that it might have been a way for the network to convey some acknowledgment of its own role in the debacle — a way, she said, “to kind of say, ‘We recognize some of the mistakes we made, some of the cultural issues we had.
With every description of the times that Sawyer got a leg up on her, there is a shadow of resentment that the former Nixon aide had an extra tool in her kit, and it was a sexualized one. Couric says that she has always liked, admired, and been a bit jealous of Sawyer personally. The way she sees it, their rivalry was predetermined; to paraphrase Jessica Rabbit, they were just drawn that way.
katiecouric rtraister Def not for me. No thanks
katiecouric rtraister Such an excellent, eye-opening article. It's making me rethink some of my knee-jerk reactions to Couric's memoir. And I have to buy The Fire Cat by Esther Averill. What a powerful concept, we're all good/bad, bad/good.

rtraister 'she chose not to air racist comments made by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg'...surprising that editors allowed the irresponsible use of the word 'racist' in this context. 'Potentially controversial' would have been more accurate. 'Racist' unfair to RBG. Bad choice.
