David Remnick

They're in for a big shock.

BMI, their weight, as we gently say.

So it's almost like an extended project you've been carrying on these past months, which have been combined the financial and the personal and so much.

Now, on this story, when you came to the end of the reporting and the thinking and the writing of it, do you think in your own life you'd get a prenup?

Is there any way to know who's benefited most from this trend?

I mean, men or women or or or?

I mean, what do we know about that?

It's a symptom.

I mean, however funny some of the details are at times.

It's a symptom of, not to get too grand about it, but larger politics and larger forces at play, no?

Well, Jen Wilson, it's a funny piece, but it's also a really thought-provoking piece, and I'm delighted to talk to you today.
