That's when we thought about my college friend Ben Wu and his wife Kristin. They have a great house in a really nice town near San Francisco that's not all that different from the one we live in. They're good parents to two kids we really like. They share our thoughts and values about religion, education, discipline, family, home, competition, money and not taking things too seriously, and I know they'd love Laszlo as their own child once he was in their home. Besides, Ben was going to have to teach him how to play sports...
...match in the coolest possible way, how to impress a girl and, like Icarus, he discovers what happens when you get too close to a star. He rubs elbows with plenty of real people who were fast becoming Welles' loyalists, like Houseman, Joseph Cotton (James Tupper), George Coulouris (Ben Chaplin) and radio star Les Tremayne (Michael Brandon) as well as one fictional dream girl, Sonja (Claire Danes), a Vassar grad who functions as the production's girl Friday and occasionally, as Welles requires it, geisha to the resident genius.

What's more, there are seven additional Democrats who have...
...Even the country's best-known blue movie director, christened Lindsay Honey, a name many porn stars would kill for, chose instead to adopt the comedy moniker Ben Dover. There's an innocence about such humor, as if Britons have been permanently stuck in adolescence since the Victorian era. But adolescence isn't the slow awakening it used to be, as Britain's soaring rates of teen sex and pregnancy indicate. The annual British Social Attitudes surveys chart a steady liberalization of British views on sex, with a majority of the public now finding nothing wrong with sex before marriage...
...oldster passes a stand where auteur Honey is doling out autographs and promoting Ben Dover-branded merchandise. Honey explains that he has diversified since people started giving away porn for free on the Internet, rendering his filmmaking economically unviable. He has even developed a one-man show: Ben Dover - Innocent Until Proven Filthy, in which he pokes fun at "porno-land vs. reality. In porno-land, pizza delivery is a great job." The erotica show may draw the crowds, but there's no danger that Britain will ever be the natural home of eroticism. There's also no danger that...
