...When someone gets married, some friend inevitably at least feels forsaken. Andrew is clearly saddened by the realization that he is no longer the person Ben connects to most easily. Ben cares too much about Andrew to want him to feel cast aside. Both are figuring out how hard it is, particularly for men, to make new friends in midlife. Each has other legitimate fears: Ben of feeling limited, even as he adores Anna, and Andrew of being a poseur (which he is, but Leonard makes us care for him). Anna has fears too. The truth is, the distance between...

Dashed off in a fever of disillusionment with those in power, Beck's book is selling like vampire lit, with more than 1 million copies in print...

Democratic health-care proposals, she says, look increasingly like the ideas that McCain proposed during the campaign. "One thing reporters aren't asking the Administration is - it's such a simple question, and people around here in the real world, outside of Washington, D.C., want reporters to ask - President Obama, how are you going to pay for this one- or two- or three-trillion-dollar health-care plan?
