...friend's house in Cambridge, Mass. Everyone kept saying, "He's winning, he's winning," but I wouldn't let myself celebrate until Wolf Blitzer said he was President. Then I cheered, and we all cried and drank about another gallon of champagne...
...acceptance material from Sundance kept stressing how the festival was about having your work seen by an audience and not about the awards, which made it clear that it was all about winning an award.

But I was surprised to find that the safety card was incomprehensible and I couldn't locate my life vest. The flight attendants agreed that the instructions were confusing, but nothing was done. The crash in the Hudson River provides a teachable moment for all flyers. But the airlines have...
