...your case, one drawer of house-sale information isn't so bad, and the lawyers and accountants I consulted tell me you have saved pretty much the bare minimum. "I'd advise holding on to all of it, even though it sounds compulsive," counsels Celeste Hammond, director of the Center for Real Estate Law at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Why would you need records from houses long vacated? Taxes. In 1997 the Taxpayer Relief Act changed how home sales are taxed.

She explained sides of beef by pointing to her own body. She tore at suckling-pig ribs with her giant bare hands. She never edited out any of her mistakes, showing you how to fix them, live with them or bluff. She dropped stuff on the floor, wiped it off and said, "Remember, you're all alone in the kitchen, and no one can see you." She was the Lee Marvin...
