Naaah. For Sugarbaby is that contradiction in terms, a light German comedy. Which means that Eisi, who is married to a woman too busy to pamper him, is ready for some fat-and-sassy attention. Which means that when they eventually come to intimacies, things turn out just fine: softcolored lights, unforced endearments, a jolly bathtub wallow and the strains of Marianne's favorite pop tune, Sugarbaby, percolating in their ears.

Juries sometimes find that a person's actual damages amounted to only a few thousand dollars, yet decide that the corporation at fault should also pay punitive damages in the millions. In one startling case, now awaiting decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, an Alabama couple sued Aetna Life & Casualty Co., claiming that it had wrongfully refused to pay $1,650 of the wife's hospital bill. A jury awarded them...
