...childless, he's a little exasperated that she's so withdrawn, and she shared an apparently innocent dessert with a colleague who keeps pestering her with cell-phone messages. Wahlberg does all his fretting with a furrowed brow (which has not two but three vertical lines, possibly a new fashion statement for anxiety), while Deschanel bites her lip and rolls her gigantic blue eyes. Neither actor can come close to the hollow-eyed anxiety that Bruce Willis displayed in The Sixth Sense, and which anchored that movie's near superhuman grief...

At the first merchandise table Dornbush set up for a Georgia event, "we were just completely sold out," he says. "There were lines of people. It was unbelievable...

As almost always, she was middle-aged and working class, with a desperate tale to tell, usually about health care. And this time, in classic Hellenic fashion on the last day of the Democratic primary season, she offered narrative punctuation: a gray sweatshirt with a picture of a vehemently orange car screeching to a halt at a highway barrier and the words THE END OF THE ROAD.
