...this cast rises magnificently to the occasion. They're all so good that it's difficult--if not impossible--to pick out particular stars. Among the men folk, it's a toss-up between Erik Amblad '98-'99 as the jovial but whiplash-afflicted and increasingly harried tax analyst Lenny Ganz, who takes over from Ken as mise-en-scene of "keeping up appearances," and Jesse J. Hawkes '99 as the psychotherapist Ernie Cusack, who's at once the shrewdest and the farthest off-base of the entire party...

For one thing, you need to eat eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day--about twice the amount that most Americans consume. "It was definitely a challenge," says study participant Carol Long, 45, a systems analyst from Boston. "But it was worth it."

A high-powered book club in Washington, started by Kenneth Brody, the former president of the U.S. Export-Import Bank and made up of lawyers...
Laura Ingraham, the CBS and MSNBC analyst, is as hard as a diamond. Her killer views against gays, feminists, gun-control advocates and welfare stand out even in that booming segment of the instant-pundit industry: right-wing women commentators. That's why her recent essay in the Washington Post apologizing for her rabid intolerance of gays dropped like a bombshell. Notorious in her student days for vilifying "sodomites" in the Dartmouth Review--and for sending a reporter to tape a Gay Students Association meeting, then naming names--she wrote that she changed her views after witnessing "the dignity, fidelity...
