"I also used to love French fries, but I'd have to eat them in secret in my office." That is, until the FedEx deliveryman caught her and gave her grief. "His good-natured kidding got me to stop," Christine says. "My arteries are all the happier for it." Every so often, however, she indulges her passion for chocolate mousse...
...commercials are king - and often more entertaining than the game - capitalism still reigns, and Madison Avenue still has its dynasties.

Chuck Noland, the FedEx manager stranded on a Pacific island after a plane crash, has no one to talk to, to bray at, as he did to his harried underlings at work--no one to shore up his resolve or share his desperation. Well, all right. Chuck is a doer. So he will fashion tools, clothing, shelter; find food, draw cave paintings, make fire. He will replicate...
