Eileen Muniz of Mohegan Lake, N.Y., cannot imagine what bizarre twist of fate caused all three of her children to be afflicted with autism spectrum disorders.

I never did drugs. I don't smoke. I can't figure out why this would happen to us. That's why I wanted to do the genetic testing...

Two weeks ago, Ariel Investments announced that it had increased its investment in Gannett from 4.8% of the company to 12.5%. That puzzled Wall St because of the bleak future...
...perhaps, for the success of the ending, it is best that it does. The conscious rejection of pure realism serves to de-emphasize the role of the filmmakers, just as Happy’s entrance into Brian’s life threatens his control of his own fate. What is gigantic in the film, then, is simply the accumulation of moments that somehow amount to a turnaround for Brian; the title magnifies the importance of each minute battle won in everyday life...
