...switched-at-birth case was resolved when a Florida teenager legally gave her biological parents the finger, while another game of musical parents ended with Jessica DeBoer returning to the "mom" who gave her up for adoption and the "dad" who was no where to be found when she was born...
...Cohn. It is astonishing how recently (that is, during Jay Maloney's teenage years) Cohn was singularly powerful. Indeed, he was the first superagent of the modern age, a forerunner of Maloney's boss Mike Ovitz as a finger-in-every-pie packager who represented the writer and the director and the stars of a given production.

There is Nelson's fulminating father, a prosperous dentist who admonished his children to "be number one" while hoisting his middle finger to drive home the point; Post executive editor Ben Bradlee, a "short, gray, wrinkled gnome" whose interviewing technique consisted of droning on about himself instead of asking questions; the black male reporter who went behind Nelson's back to urge a white editor to kill a story she had worked...
