After Dan got his driver's license in high school, he started spending less time at home. He also stopped talking at meals or skipped them altogether. "I kind of just closed off," he says. Jackie noticed the change in him but opted for a tolerant approach. "I just took it that he's a teenager," she says. "I just kind of gave him his space...
...bask in the resulting limelight. Poor Gore: again the noble nonwinner. There were no Molotov cocktails in the handful of Cannes fiction films with political undertones. Not that it was hard to see which side they were on - virtually all art-house movies are left-wing - but the aesthetic approach was either too conventional or too oblique to send audiences marching into the streets.

Treatment is not a competition between ideas; it is a matter of finding what works at a particular moment with...
Your ABC show was canceled after advertisers complained about your comments on terrorists. Is it easier now to approach 9/11 as a comedian? I never stopped approaching it. I always had a huge amount of support from people who were fans of freethinking. You would think over the years that people would come up to me and stick a finger in my chest. But people who don't like you almost never come up to you. They might stare or snicker to their wives. Maybe they think I'm a tough guy. I am five-eight...
