...were, there were some unfortunate technical difficulties that strained the flow of the act, including a smattering of microphone screeching. Also, the show, slated to begin at 8 p.m., did not actually begin until after a quarter past, and the ten-minute intermission stretched out into nearly half an hour. Nonetheless, the show was well worth the wait. The second act, though—entitled the Dance Drama and performed in the style of Bharatanatyam dance—ran seamlessly from start to finish.

She exercised compulsively, waking at 4 a.m. to take three-hour walks near her home in suburban Philadelphia. All that behavior is typical of patients with the eating disorder anorexia. But her doctors missed the symptoms because, she says, none of them had ever asked Binckley about her diet and lifestyle...
