...root of this superficiality lies chiefly in the show’s actors, as their performances consistently fail to spark interest or emotional engagement. In scenes that are clearly aiming at tenderness—such as a rare moment of fond reminiscing shared by Mr. Zero and his wife the night before his execution—the actors dully recite trite exchanges which fail to evoke empathy, let alone hold attention...
...Risk Profile, StupidWhy statins fail to show equal benefits for men and women is unclear, but one reason may be that women are simply at lower risk of heart disease than men. You would need a powerful treatment to lower an already low risk.

Much of the testimony so far has laid bare the way in which Washington called the shots, often ignoring British...
Mather’s nearby rival did not fail to rise to the challenge—Dunster’s brain break was equally on point, and even one-upped Mather with the addition of cream pie and chocolate cake. We won’t count the lack of cream pie against Mather, but the cream pie did prove to be the tie-breaker between Dunster and Mather...
