What are some good profiles of Kerry?
I'm looking for good magazine and newspaper profiles of Kerry. I'm familiar with the Boston Globe 7-parter, but I'm looking for something shorter. I have Joe Klein's New Yorker profile. I also have David Corn's excellent Nation piece "What's Right With Kerry." I think Men's Journal had one too. Can someone post some links to good Kerry profiles?

This is for a moderate friend of mine. She's not very pro-Bush, very disgusted with Iraq, and disagrees with him on most issues. However, she's someone who likes to consider personal characteristics along with positions on the issues and is currently still leaning Bush because she feels that she isn't familiar enough with Kerry beyond the Bush-media portrayal of him as an opportunistic flip-flopper to make a choice.

She can be converted. But I need good profiles of Kerry. She already knows what's wrong with Bush, she just needs to be convinced that Kerry would make a good President.

Help!
