...historical dramas. We're so used to being duped that even while we're enjoying a scene, we may think it's all made up. The Young Victoria features the jolly King William at his birthday banquet, quite in his cups, trashing Victoria's mother. It's a funny bit, ending with Richardson huffing off and some dry old man saying, ruefully, "Families." This scene has the mark of something written expressly for Broadbent by Fellowes, but in Lytton Strachey's biography Queen Victoria, and again in Christopher Hibbert's, you'll find that scene, told exactly...

Alternatively, if Gillette dumps Woods and misses out on his triumphant comeback, it's doubtful that consumers will start switching razor brands (unless, perhaps, he endorses Bic out of spite). Yet Procter & Gamble, Gillette's parent company, is no fan of controversy. "P&G is known as being a traditional...
...It’s not very typical for a former Harvard professor to run for public office in Idaho, and it creates a bit of stir,” Allred said. “But I’m a fifth generation Idahoan. I grew up working summers on my family cattle ranch. It makes me an interesting combination...
