...visitors who were less familiar than Jim Mayer, the ward had a gatekeeper, an odd little man known as Mr. Nick. Sporting silver loops in both ears and wrapping his salt-and-pepper braids into a bun behind his head, 56-year-old James Melvin Nicholas stood out in the crew-cut, uniformed staff. The breast of his white lab coat was smothered in goodwill medals given to him by VIP guests. His accent was effeminate and Mississippian. He held the lowly title of medical support technician. But from behind the nurse's station, where he worked, everyone knew...
...pastry chefs have free rein to experiment. Brandon Cook, one of three R&D chefs and the only one who has cooked in a Cheesecake Factory, is riffing on the lobster roll--subbing crab and shrimp for lobster and thick white bread for the traditional top-split hot-dog buns in this classic New England sandwich. Before setting out samples--one on grilled bread, another toasted--he has gone through half a dozen iterations, playing with the dressing and the proportions of bread, seafood, tomato and lettuce.

Bronzer, mascara, a delicate sheen of lip gloss, and she’s ready to start her academic day. It’s 9:45 a.m. Most of her classmates...
...biggest problem in the movie is Meredith, an over-the-top example of female strength gone awry. Parker’s traded-in her trademark Manohlos, cosmopolitans, and oversized flower pins for an unflattering corporate attire. Meredith is a woman more comfortable in trousers with her hair in a bun. She might as well be chewing on a cigar. It’s possible that Parker is trying to move out of her “Sex and the City” days, but this frigid ice queen role departs too far from Dolce & Gabbana, where she seems much more...
