...little bit dim herself, and possibly affected by her close proximity to her sister's situation. Debbie is a faithful wife who's reached that awkward age where guys are no longer hitting on her. Worse, her husband (Paul Rudd) is withdrawing from her. She thinks he's having an affair, but he's not. What he's sneaking out of the house in search of is quiet male bonding - evenings with the guys that lack the shrillness of his wife's (and kids) restlessness...

One magazine had a photo spread featuring models but you could tell by their eyes that their bones were hollow.Freeze came...

Companies try all sorts of things to attract and promote minorities and women. They hire organizational psychologists. They staff booths at diversity fairs. They host dim-sum brunches and salsa nights. The most popular--and expensive--approach is diversity training, or workshops to teach executives to embrace the benefits of a diverse staff. Too bad it doesn't work...
