Watching Anderson Cooper learn to meditate on 60 Minutes last night, I thought - as I did while watching him swim with crocodiles on the same show and, more recently on CNN, search for his roots in the American South - of his explanation as to why it took him so long to come out as gay. It was because, as a reporter, he never thought the story should be about him.
(I'm off to Nazareth, Pennsylvania, for a few days.)
