...Bring Me a Coke? TY! As a baby-boom mother of two millennials, I got a chuckle from Nancy Gibbs' essay [March 22]. The fact that younger people are more optimistic doesn't come without a price. My husband and I pay for college expenses and cell phones and have sent the girls on trips I dreamed of as a child. And one of my daughters lives at home. If I'd had that growing up, I would be optimistic too! Robin Cornick, WEST HILLS, CALIF...
...thought that was control, and that comes from a legacy of authoritarianism and dictatorship and so on, so a lot of power at the center of the state. But it also becomes easily clientelistic.

Action movies almost always do better in foreign markets than comedies. Baby Mama, for example, took in $60.5 million at home...
...Here Lies Love, and he's still digging up material for a potential stage incarnation. "I just found a speech that Benigno Aquino made, specifically attacking Imelda," he says. "I thought 'ooh, that could be good.'" The one thing he deliberately didn't look into is another show that got its start as an album musical: "I made a point not to see Evita. I do know that they're both rags-to-riches, or rags-to-figurehead-of-a-country, stories. But beyond that I don't know what the similarities...
