...business trust that, among other things, assigns homes to families. "So many are networked into his crime," Jessop says. "Husbands were kicked out; ladies knew they were safe if they were obedient. If they had lots of daughters, they got handed out to everybody - it was like a feast." If a man resists the leadership, he risks losing his wife (or wives) and his home, she says. "If a woman does, her children are taken from her." The coercive power of the FLDS is immense, she says. "Right now, leaving the FLDS is like jumping off a cliff...
...With all that, was it any wonder that when we had a chance to establish our first national holiday, it was Thanksgiving - a feast that doesn't merely accompany a celebration but in effect is the celebration? Is it any wonder that what might be our most evocative patriotic song is America the Beautiful, in which an ideal like brotherhood doesn't even get mentioned until the second-to-last line, well after rhapsodic references to waves of grain and fruited plains?

...long as there have been rumors in politics, there has been one widely accepted way for a candidate to deal with them. Basically, it's not to.

But Mimolette really comes into its own at Sunday brunch, when its uncluttered dining room is filled with a buttery light. Feast on crepes, soufflés, eggs benedict, cod-brandade omelette, corned-beef hash and all the rest. Naturally, the last thing you'll want to do afterward is climb into the saddle - let others gallop across the surrounding meadows while you sit back and watch contentedly...
...curse: he?s got the perfect romantic-comedy skills, but he?s in the one decade when the genre isn?t flourishing. Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland and many lesser lights built long careers without the charm Kinnear has shown in As Good As It Gets, Sabrina, Nurse Betty and Feast of Love. His appeal is an anachronism; perhaps he should go back to playing the suburban sexaholic he did in Autofocus. Or maybe his domesticated grace is more suited for a high-quality sitcom...
