...should be on, before they realize the story?s not about confrontation but collaboration. Neither character is a caricature. Kate could be the snooty Bryn Mawr deb of old movies - the one whose class prejudices must be exposed by the working-class hero or heroine - but no, she?s decent, patient and hard-working. (And unexpectedly curvy-sexy, in the mandatory straight-girl-has-to-get-drunk-and-go-crrraaazy scene.)

...fringe benefits of being a Middle East correspondent is that my travels in the region have allowed me to start a decent little collection of oriental rugs. This may sound like a travel fantasy from the age of empire, but rugs are among the most practical pieces of furniture for the modern nomad looking to create a portable home.

...together to drink, flirt and fight under the same roof, Rehab was the corollary cautionary tale in which substance-abusing guests checked into an actual rehab facility under the care of Loveline's Dr. Drew Pinsky. As trashy as its concept was, Rehab's first season was surprisingly earnest, decent and, well, sober, especially as it chronicled the struggle and near breakdowns of former Taxi star Jeff Conaway.

...Crimson Cash to pay $7.88 for breakfast, $11.03 for lunch, and $13.65 for dinner, as well as $5.57 for continental breakfast (the morning equivalent of Brain Break). $13.65 for dining hall provender? We would fare better at Au Bon Pain or Bartley’s Burgers, where a decent or better meal can be had for less than ten dollars...
