Lisa Scottoline is a lawyer-turned-thriller writer, with 25 million books in print in the U.S. But with her new nonfiction book, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog (St. Martin's), Scottoline may well find herself compared to Nora Ephron. Scottoline's collection of essays from her popular Philadelphia Inquirer column, "Chick Wit," explores the female condition with a lively, original sensibility, which includes calling her former husbands Thing One and Thing Two. TIME senior reporter Andrea Sachs reached Scottoline at her "girl farm" in Pennsylvania, where she lives with four dogs, two horses and two cats...

Such legal fights are likely to become more common as classifications of brain-injury severity are revised. But some medical experts say there are a more immediate concerns than end-of-life questions: "The figures [of misdiagnoses] are frightening...
...trophy wife of the highest order. Polite, restrained and seemingly vacant, the heroine of writer/director Rebecca Miller's The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, cooks a mean butterflied lamb, keeps a meticulous house and floats around in silky pajamas, all the while gazing fondly at her cutely cranky husband Herb (Alan Arkin), a former publisher 30 years older than she is, as if he were...
