Add to that the fact that Beckham employs over 150 people across offices in London and New York, has sales figures of more than $40 million, owns a flagship store on Dover Street, London's luxury shopping epicenter (as well as a second store in Hong Kong), and is set to launch an affordable off-shoot with Target next April, and arguments that she is undeserving of the award seem a bit unfair.

Frank Bruni It's rich, as the English would say, that Donald Trump is trying to profit from Anthony Weiner's latest mortification, because Trump is to his persevering supporters what Weiner was to his long-suffering wife: a scoundrel undeserving of so many second chances; a head case incapable of the redemption that's supposedly just a few extra measures of discipline away; someone selling himself as a servant of the public although he's really a slave to his own raging ego and unquenchable needs.

In response, people watching the news at home retreated into two camps: on the one side there are those who see the conflict as an attack on the First Amendment by liberal thought police (and their violent leftist co-agitators) who require safe spaces and trigger warnings to stifle conservative ideas they don't agree with; and on the other are those who argue that speakers like Yiannopoulos are simply undeserving of protection because they're literally inflammatory — the political equivalent of yelling fire in a theater.

In 2016, shortly after Mr. Trump's victory, Katherine J. Cramer, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, summed up the attitudes she observed after years of studying rural Americans: "The way these folks described the world to me, their basic concern was that people like them, in places like theirs, were overlooked and disrespected," she wrote in Vox, explaining that her subjects considered "racial minorities on welfare" as well as "lazy urban professionals" working desk jobs to be undeserving of state and federal dollars.

And Hobie (basically Jesus), who runs an antiques shop at which Theo finds refuge, is so innocent to the ways of the world that he is slowly bankrupting himself through his devotion to beauty and refusal to sell his furniture to the undeserving, and doesn't even own a TV. Bad: Mr. Barbour, the posh Upper East Side dad with whom Theo briefly lives who likes sailing and Maxfield Parrish (middlebrow); Theo's own dad, who lives in tacky suburban Las Vegas and used to act on TV (lowbrow).

It is strange to me, now that I am in my mid-forties, after a lifetime of passionate affairs with books—some, I later realized, undeserving of my youthful fervor, a few that I encountered at the wrong moment, and plenty of others that still light up rooms inside me—in two tremendous languages, Arabic and English, that the book that has affected me most is one I came across when I was ten or eleven years old and about which I know almost nothing.

But we slash spending for physical education in schools; dole out cheap, nutrient-poor school lunches; transform youth sports into a pricey, club-and-travel-team rat race for prestige and college athletic scholarships; bombard our kids inside and outside their classrooms with ads for sugar-loaded processed snacks and drinks; fail to address the healthy-food deserts that many of our most needy fellow citizens live within; act like health care, including wellness initiatives, is less a smart, compassionate, cost-saving public policy measure than a giveaway to undeserving moochers; and largely tell our working poor that hey, maybe you should join a gym.
