Goldberg's narrative, written entirely in the present tense, shifts smoothly back and forth among the four main characters, tracing the adventures of each one over the year or so covered in the novel. This technique emphasizes the essential isolation of each family member, how a genteel unwillingness to cause scenes or make hurtful comments has atrophied into an inability to say anything truthful at all. Miriam is simply baffled by her children; Saul's parental love is directed more at what they can become than at the needy young people they happen to be. Although she craves victories, Eliza...
...anchored about 12 miles out from Dana Point, Calif., during production of "The Perfect Storm" late last year. It was a beautiful, crisp, clear day when TIME Los Angeles correspondent Jeffrey Ressner spoke to movie director Wolfgang Petersen on the Gail, but the ship was rocking back and forth so badly that the cast and crew were not at their peak.

Granted, you carry off that sort of silly outfit better than most guys, but wearing something like that around in public is pretty much the sartorial equivalent of wearing a sign that says "Hi! I'm Part...
...Yeah. And I don't want to reveal too much of the private conversation, but I explained what had happened with Tony's health. I hadn't actually talked to Bill for, I don't know, six or eight weeks. He'd been traveling and so forth. And then I told him that I thought that he was the right person to take over as chairman and that I'd like him to do it. And he took a deep breath and he said, well, I'd like to talk with you about it over a cup of coffee...
