...effort to make it easier for employers to withdraw excess money from employee pension funds. Souder argued for a gesture in the opposite direction: making pensions portable, so that a worker who has been laid off can take his pension with him. Gingrich gave back "his kind of tilted-chin, inquisitive look," says Souder. To anyone familiar with the Speaker's facial English, this is something different from his jaw-set, get-on-with-it look.

...people, from Jackie O. to Roseanne, are pointless enough, but to re-create this TV-industry story for a mass audience seems the height of self-absorption. John Michael Higgins does a good job mimicking Letterman's cigar-chomping crankiness, but he's too energetic. Daniel Roebuck has the chin (with the help of prosthetics), but turns Leno into a simpering moron. Yet these characters, at least, will be recognizable to viewers. The rest of The Late Shift is a parade of TV executives known to few in the audience, but all scrupulously identified onscreen as if this were...
