A. Abram1 has one of those rare minds which, like the mind of a musician or great mathematician, fuses dreaminess with smarts. He’s not an airhead, in other words, but a thinker….
A. Debbie Matenopoulos, who is viciously satirized as an airhead on Saturday Night Live,1 might be losing her spot on The View.2 Sources say the show has started to look for a replacement for the 23-year-old bloned…. Insiders complain that Matenopoulos barely ever goes over any of the research materials provided to her, is usually late, and spends most of her time deciding which premieres and parties she feels like3 attending that week… [and was] hand-picked despite a total lack of broadcasting experience.

A. I1 define an airhead, based on decades of careful observation in Marin County2, the Home Nest3, as an individual whose beliefs are independent of fact. Arguing rationally with an airhead is like trying to move your house by standing outside and pushing against a wall…you get exhausted and the house stays put.4 With an airhead it goes like this. You’re told something like “The calcium in quartz resonates with the calcium in your bones, healing back pain.” …you point out,“There isn’t any calcium in quartz—just silicon and oxygen.” By return E-mail, “Well,so what. It resonates anyway.”
