520			_aIn 2007, award-winning journalist Steve Braunias embarked on a series of 27 interviews, one a week, profiling New Zealanders famous and infamous, both publicity-seekers and those desperate to hide from the spotlight. His startling survey of the national psyche ranged from the all-out brainy (neuroscientist Richard Faull) to the disturbingly naive (rape survivor Louise Nicholas), from the vainglorious (actor Adam Rickitt) to the gloriously vain (TV star Paul Henry), from the food writer in her home (Cuisine's Julie Dalzell) to the war correspondent in someone else's (Fox Television's Anita McNaught in Iraq). He took us to our leaders - Labour's Helen Clark, National's John Key, the Maori Party's Pita Sharples...and to a miscellany of mayoral wannabes. You may never vote again...
