...push the ON button, the sprinkling sound of settled static rising back to the surface of the screen. We eat our cereal skeptically, milk dribbling down our chins, as an image struggles to emerge. The alcohol in my stomach feels like a pit of sleeping snakes, furious as the new grain pulp and coffee tumble down on top. The TV comes to life, animated by what we soon find out is an episode of “Dawson’s Creek.” We have to wait until the first commercial break to learn this, but then...

...Pretty has more real, squirm-inducing human behavior on display than in all the sitcom Sturm und Drang of God of Carnage. We're plunged into the middle of a screaming fight between Greg and Steph, 20-somethings who have been living together for four years.

And it's not just a prelude...

Security Council to take place on Sunday. Both Tokyo and the South Korean government believe the rocket launch was an explicit violation of a 2006 U.N. resolution that insisted the North "not conduct any further nuclear test or launch of a ballistic missile." But North Korea insists it has the right to place communications satellites into orbit, and the U.S. military on Sunday confirmed...
