...marriage comes just as Frank has hit puberty?hit it like a crash-test dummy slamming into a granite wall. In no time he has become a heavy drinker and a chronic masturbator while somehow remaining a sweet, devoted kid. The great trick is in the "somehow." Somehow Owen Kline embodied that bundle of complexities, found the pathos and comedy in poor Frank's turmoil...

The numbers Fox gave the website for Reed's drugs were based on their "commonly purchased price," says marketing director David Kline, but the company rep gave Reed a higher quote in case her pharmacist charged more. He says the call center will now give quotes that match the website's. It may sound all too confusing, and indeed during a visit to a Virginia retirement community earlier this week, George...
