...MasterCard. That means, if you join Best Western Rewards, you may be able to earn a free stay after just four nights. Plus, this isn't your father's Best Western: Many hotels now have 42-inch flat-screen TVs in the rooms, with nary a polyester quilted bedspread in sight. Pretty luxe for the price...
...Adams two hours later, Chen is all business, cutting up everything except the nightgown into fabric circles, which she proceeds to sew into bunched flowers. As she fingers a table runner, Chens muses on the history of her chosen fabric: “Who had sex on this bedspread? Tablecloth? Who had sex on this table?!

...movie has torrents of words and goes heavy on macho posturing; at times it suggests a ragged off-off-Broadway play. And De Palma is not going for subtlety here: Flake, the craziest of the squad members, has a Confederate flag for his bedspread - he's a lunatic Reb.

...celebrity portraits can sometimes remind you of an armored car: big, heavyset and built for serious business. In this book of pictures taken from 1990 to 2005, the celebrity pics, with their industrial-strength charm, are back--the naked and pregnant Demi Moore, Brad Pitt languishing on an orange bedspread--but there are informal family shots as well, like one of her brother and father, below, and many pictures of her longtime beloved, the writer Susan Sontag, even as the ailing Sontag ventures toward death. Leibovitz's unflinching final portrait of her, laid out just after she died, is unforgettable...
