David A. Price finds a common thread in New Journalism icon Tom Wolfe's writing, and that thread is status and how people compete for it. Price quotes from Wolfe's work and includes excerpts from an interview that he conducted with the author in New York late last year: "'That has more or less been my system of approaching any subject,' Wolfe says. 'For instance, "The Right Stuff" is not a book about space, it’s a book about status competition among pilots.'"
