Today on the Morning Media Menu, we discussed the life and literary legacy of Vanity Fair correspondent Dominick Dunne.
The prolific writer passed away yesterday, leaving behind an impressive collection of novels and essays. At the end of the show, conversation turned to the looming deadline for the Google books settlement.
