Maura Moynihan’s life as the daughter of U.S. Senator and an it-girl in the 1980s makes good material for a book. And that’s exactly what she did. In her novel, Covergirl: Confessions of a Flawed Hedonist, Moynihan writes about a former cover-girl who worked with Tibetan refugees in Asia, a character much like herself. She also has an opinion about redeveloping Penn station as a building that bears her family name. Plus: the summer blockbuster season is winding down, so we’ll look at the indie movies taking their place; why the Mayor and (current) Governor might not get their way with development plans; and a look at hair dye: the "philosophy" and the safety.
