Q&A with Vanity Fair ’s International Correspondent William Langewiesche

He’s one of the biggest names—literally and figuratively—in journalism. But whether William Langewiesche is writing at his Davis home or reporting in Kosovo, the globe-trotting Vanity Fair  scribe, author and two-time National Magazine Award winner keeps his feet on the ground. Unless, that is, he’s in the cockpit of his two-seat plane in the “aviation paradise” of Northern California, savoring the view of the Sierras and “the golden era” of nonfiction.

Tune Town

Another jazz festival just ended, and with it, the sound of music in the air in Sacramento. In cities from Austin to Seattle and New York to New Orleans, street music creates an ambience that shapes a city’s urban experience for locals and visitors alike. It’s time for Sacramento to get in tune with the times.
