Jennifer Gould Keil chronicles the city's movers and shakers, keeping tabs on boldface New Yorkers' biggest real estate hits and misses in her Gimme Shelter column. A graduate of Columbia University's school of journalism, she is the author of "Vodka, Tears and Lenin's Angel: A Journalist on the Road in the Former Soviet Union."

From New York, she also broke stories about sexism and peacekeeping atrocities at the United Nations.
