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?

This interview at Metro Weekly from last year has more personal info and discusses his marriage to DC attorney, Michael Gottlieb.

(It's my understanding that Gottlieb is now a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner ... yes, that's Boies as in David Boies.)
