...days and weeks tangled in tubes and wires, struggling to keep warm and learning what full-term babies already know: how to breathe, suckle and swallow. Zachary Sean Noble is one of the smallest. Born three months early at 1 lb. 7 oz.--as light and fragile as a carton of eggs--he can breathe only with the help of a ventilator. As he sleeps, his tiny chest heaves and the translucent fingertips of his right hand open and close over his crumpled face...
...tough New York�City cop, Francis X. Loughlin has a knack for getting bad guys to give it up in front of the one-way mirror. Julian Vega was 17 and "as fragile as an egg in a carton" when Loughlin nailed him for the claw-hammer murder of a young doctor. Twenty years later, Julian, now prison hardened, has been freed on a technicality and is bent on proving he didn't do it. Loughlin is equally convinced he got the right guy, but his eyesight is failing from degenerative tunnel vision, and the case has taken a bizarre...

But unlike the surly Carton of the book, Shafrin’s character—with thick Harry Potter glasses and too-high pants tucked into argyle socks—was cowering and nerdy, a perfect and hilarious foil...
...Alain Passard of L'Arpège or Bernard Pacaud of L'Ambroisie stay true to their art even at the risk of alienating haute cuisine virgins by charging big bucks for food they don't quite get. Alain Senderens, on the other hand, shut down the venerable Lucas Carton, an establishment boasting the full three Michelin stars, and opened a brasserie on the same site. He now risks alienating adherents of his ancien régime by letting the people eat cake - a Sichuan pepper dacquoise cake to be precise - for €17. The dish cost...
