...second pair of shoes he brings out, not just because he figures out what looks good on women but because he convinces them of it. In his quiet way, he is forceful, like Clint Eastwood. Plus he has the added appeal of often being down on one knee. "You almost have to make up their minds for them. They want you to make up their minds for them," he says. He delivers lines like "This is a really important shoe this season," with such a straight face, I do believe that this shoe is really important. He is so good...
...opera skillfully parodies the TV show's demented-circus atmosphere, and star Michael Brandon does a bang-on impression of Springer's smarmy solicitousness ("Chuckie, I sense you're not too happy about Shawntelle's pole-dancing dreams").

Back in his office, Uzan rolls up his sleeves to display a rash of small scabs he says he received from well-wishers reaching...
That's not to say there is no longer prejudice against the paper's what-the-news-means-to-you populism, quickly read articles and heavy graphics, which may explain why the paper has never won a Pulitzer Prize. But the knee-jerk conception of USA Today as a vapid, happy-news paper has been an outdated cliche for more than a decade. True, early versions of the paper, founded in 1982, were known for columns like Offbeat USA ("The Human Side of the News")--glib news bits that sent the message "Hey, we know this is news...
