...couple man and wife. It was a lovely moment, Kerns recalls, though, inevitably, he was nipped by one of O'Hair's several ill-tempered little dogs.

This is an American family with only one value: tell the vulgar truth about everything, be it sex, talk shows or the price of airline tickets. They are particularly choleric about our obsession with calories. Nothing green and leafy is permitted at their groaning board...
