Ari Shaprio - know anything about him?

NP's All Things Considered's rather hot, tall lanky smartie pants.

Anyone met him or know him? How tall is he? Does he have a boyfriend? What's he like? Why isn't he higher profile?

Yale can turn out some real snobs of that genre. Tall, dark, skinny, big meat, oddly handsome, and snotty, entitled, and bitchy. I picked up a few at those inter ivy cocktails they had going in the Ivy clubs in NY in the 80s and 90s. Do they still have those?
