The first time I met Vartan Gregorian he gave me a big bear hug. I had known from Philip Hamburger's profile of Gregorian in a 1986 New Yorker that he tended to hug people, but I thought that meant he hugged people he knew or was at least acquainted with, not people he had never met before. Hugging people, however, is part of Gregorian's charm, a charm that is backed up by a remarkable intelligence and a driving ambition.
