Larry McMurtry, owner of perhaps the largest used bookstore in the country and a Pulitzer Prize winner and an Academy Award winner, and what have you done, you shiftless moaner and castigator, is very very good friends with Diane Keaton. There was this one weird time when he'd just been to the White House with Bush 41 and Bar and they watched "New York Stories" with Tom Clancy but Diane wanted to see the movie just three nights later in New York and so they went and Woody Allen's mother was sitting in front of them and then they went back to Diane's and she is really the kind of gal you do not want to beat in Trivial Pursuit so Larry threw the game on a question he knew quite well. Welcome to the strangest thing we've ever read in the New York Review Of Books!
