...weightier thematic content of confronting Lescaze’s son’s untimely death and Lescaze’s own terminal bout with cancer that’s more like a New York Times Sunday Styles “Modern Love” column than sex blog-cum-novel. Perhaps the time is ripe for this kind of thing: when even a lowly Senate staffer can get herself fired by blogging about her office trysts and then garner a reported six-figure book deal for the novelization, and when a compendium “Modern Love?...
...Hutton could do the limbo. In the late '70s she was discovered working as a cook and housekeeper in a Rhode Island rectory. There, she told Robert Osborne in a 2000 Turner Classic Movies interview, she found salvation under the gentle care of Father Peter McGuire. Hutton earned a cum laude degree from Salve Regina College, then taught drama and music. Her motto might have been the Johnny Burke-Jimmy Van Heusen novelty number she sang in the movie Duffy's Tavern: "I Have to Do It the Hard Way."

Despite a strong effort by the recently resuscitated group (lead singer Kristopher Roe is the only original member remaining), you may be left wondering what’s become of The Ataris’ catchy, youthful sound.

...cum-laude graduate of Harvard, longtime cast member-writer on Saturday Night Live and co-author of the alcohol-horror movie When a Man Loves a Woman thinks he's good enough and smart enough - and doggone it, enough people like him - to be the next U.S. Senator from Minnesota. On his final Al Franken Show, he announced that he is running to reclaim the seat that Sen. Paul Wellstone lost when he, his wife and daughter were killed in a plane crash two weeks before the 2002 election, and which was won by Republican Norm Coleman. The New York...
