...beyond mere stories. Like the best of silent films, the lack of words turns Jason's book into a universally accessible meditation on the human condition. Likewise the use of animals as human stand-ins turns the tales into Aesop-like fables with a modern, existential twist. Imagine Buster Keaton in Henrik Ibsen's version of "The Mouse and the Lion." These "fables" all have the same lesson: Life is absurd...
...they get to wear is as exciting as cream cheese. But this year famous women are wearing ties because they're "strong, distinctive and sexy," in the words of one fashion marketer--and because other famous women are wearing them.

Throughout his ordeal, Fox has retained the boyish charm and wit that made Alex P. Keaton, the cold-blooded capitalist, into a lovable older brother and a hero to quite a few children of the 1980s. Yet Fox is no longer the carefree sprite he used to be—and the show’s theme song now hits a little closer to home...
