...Hwang's reworking is all his own. As are the livelier scenes, in other stories, of a jazzy, prewar North Korea, full of concert pianists and painters and their nude models. It's hard to believe that Pyongyang was once a glittery Little Shanghai of waltzing, snaggletoothed flappers and buxom barmaids pouring shots of absinthe. But geonbae to the day this particular fiction of Hwang's is translated back into reality...
...John is a semi-recovered gambling addict, who fled Las Vegas after some unnamed fiscal disaster and got himself a desk job at an insurance company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The only good part of his boring job is sharing a cubicle wall with Jill (Sarah Silverman), a buxom administrative drone who has her own addiction issues revolving around compulsive collecting of smiley face paraphernalia.

"The family is always an open nerve in Italy," says an opposition insider. Lario's comments "can be a heavy blow [for him]. At the very least, it can put him in a bad mood for a while...
...year-old daughter Valerie lives with Down Syndrome. "Dolls represent real people in the imagination of a young person," Perry says. "I don't want Valerie to think she has to be conventionally beautiful to be loved." So when Valerie asked for a doll at Christmas, her mother bypassed buxom Barbie and purchased Elizabeth (retail price: $175) from S.C.-based retailer Downi Creations. Featuring 13 physical characteristics of Down Syndrome, including almond-shaped eyes, low-set ears, a horizontal crease in her palms and a slightly protruding tongue. Elizabeth, says Perry, is "different but beautiful at the same time...
