...transfat in half, I'll get to feel a little less guilty about enjoying my emotional pornography. In other words, if I can be made to laugh a few times and give a fig about anyone in the movie, I'll embrace it, at least in the heat of the Vera Wang-fueled moment...

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep your mail carrier from making the daily rounds, promises the U.S. Postal Service's unofficial motto - but the economy might. With 9.5 billion fewer letters and packages delivered in the 2008 fiscal year compared with 2007, the biggest mail volume decline in history has contributed to the agency's $2.8 billion loss for the year. That partly explains why shipping prices will rise 5% this month (a bigger hike than all shipping increases in 2008), with a stamp price jump to follow in May. The decline could also...

One of its biggest threats is e-mail, which has made the art of letter-writing seem downright quaint and last year contributed to a nearly 10% drop in first-class mail (that's individual letters to you and me), the worst loss in any mail category.

...races that year, hers was the single candidacy endorsed by the state Democratic Party and the only one it helped to fund. The now 42-year-old former state senator and lawyer, a graduate of Georgetown and (like her dad) Loyola Law School, took some degree of heat for her inexperience when she won the post; it didn't help matters that she had to return $25,000 in campaign donations from what turned out to be a bigoted rock band, though she did wisely donate the cash to anti-hate groups. "He really...

...Yule Log, which is the one most viewers are familiar with (and which was finally filmed in a California fireplace in the sweltering heat), ran until 1989. By that time the show - if you can call it that - had been cut back to two hours; to many station executives, the Yule Log was an antique, and its long-running, commercial-free format a financial drain. The fire was snuffed out in 1989. The Yule Log spirit, however, proved harder to extinguish. In ensuing years, and especially following the growth of the Internet, fans of the original Log began clamoring...
