...they would ever invent a calendar with no month of October in it, I would never have to sell a share of stock again. Until then, though, remind me next year that you can never take off enough stock ahead of these 31 days unless you are a total masochist. What is it about this month that causes people to lose their senses and chop a third or even a half off the value of solid American companies, like Xerox or Raytheon or Unisys, that screwed up for a quarter? Why do people who are perfectly rational shareholders...
Bradley didn't and hasn't. Ever since, Gore has been filching Bradley rhetoric, talking about "having a different kind of campaign," styling himself the high-minded statesman and Bradley the conventional pol.

There are a few moments (notably Pfeiffer's sweet, blathery peroration) to remind you of when a Rob Reiner film was a treat and not a chore. But mostly the movie is like the marriage: good casting, golden promise, yet somehow a grating ordeal. The Story of Us means to describe pain; instead, it inflicts...
...hell day": she starts at Kraus Farms at 8 a.m., teaches until 5 p.m., grabs some food, drives to Hollywood Video and works there from 6 until 11 p.m. "I'm sure I'm sacrificing my health," Elizabeth says, "but I'm actually doing better in school than I ever have...
