...Roberto Benigni, Natalie Wood). Through his pen, inanity became animate, and caricature met character study. The fun in a Hirschfeld sketch increased after 1945, when his daughter Nina was born.

He was transferred to Northeast Juvenile Justice Center, an alternative school for troubled kids who have left the regular educational system. "It seemed like...
...time, as the Veep might put it. Since high school, Lynne has been the yin for her husband's yang. The quiet captain of the football team went into a full swoon over the drum majorette, who on their first date nearly 40 years ago wore a red strapless gown with a crinoline skirt, which Lynne jokes accounted for their second date.
