...plot is complexity itself. It's Friday in L.A., and tart-tongued management type Lee (Catherine Keener) is ready to walk out on mousy Carl (David Hyde Pierce), a magazine writer who moonlights with plays and film scripts. His Hitler play opens tonight. His movie is being shot right now with movie star Francesca (Julia Roberts) and rising TV actor Calvin (Blair Underwood).

...hard to find a silver lining to the events and revelations that engulfed young Almonte last week--unless it's useful to have another cautionary parable on the books. "Clearly, adults have used Danny Almonte in a most contemptible and despicable way," said Stephen D. Keener, CEO and president of Little League Baseball, in rhetoric that fits the crime.
