“The
Rise of Meritocracy” was the title of a British satirical novel that came out
in 1958. And you have to pinch yourself occasionally to recall that “The Best
and the Brightest” wasn’t coined as a compliment back in 1972. Now it turns out
Carry Bradshaw’s exploits started out as satire, too. It’s news to me at least –
but it’s hardly a surprise: http://www.greatertalent.com/speaker-news/interview-with-candace-bushnell-in-the-new-york-observer-carrie-ing-the-torch-deep-down-were-all-still-a-little-bit-bradshaw.
