Check. Brooklyn brownstone? Check. Adorable young children? That too. Mr. Gourevitch made his name as The New Yorker’s Africa hand, reporting on wars and dictators, along with the occasional dispatch from fancy Paris dinner parties. Ms. MacFarquhar’s articles for that magazine run the gamut from organ donation to the, uh, power couple beat (she recently profiled Paul Krugman and his wife). They live a rarified, urbane and worldly existence so the rest of us can eat junk food, watch reality television and earn a living writing forgettable blog posts.
