Most of these events struck me as game-changing, potentially deal-breaking lapses. They gave me a queasy feeling that all was not well with Big Love - the same foreboding I got when, at the beginning of this season, the show junked its much-loved "God Only Knows" ice pond opening-credits sequence for one that blended slo-mo falling, a la Mad Men, with what looked like a commercial for Preference by L'Oreal. (Do you fast-forward through that opening when TiVo-ing the show? I do.) But in the past two episodes, I've come to think...

Following the 9/11 attacks, Jandal was interrogated by FBI officials and became a valuable source of information, identifying many of the hijackers and giving...
...When asked how she will deal with sports celebrity in the post-Woods world, in which the tabloids, websites and televisions cameras can threaten even a pristine reputation, Vonn seems nonplussed. "Well, I'm married" - to her ski coach, Thomas Vonn, since 2007 - "so I don't have that problem," she says. "But, um, I guess [Woods] is married too." Then she turns serious.
