Homer was sometimes beaten with belts. "We didn't know that beatings were against the rules in foster homes," he says. "We found out from another foster child." One of his foster mothers, he says, threw a knife at him, cutting his forehead, then forcing him to say he had molested another kid. "Because of foster care," he says, "I didn't really grow up anywhere." Now he's an adult, and for the first time he's facing the prospect of living on his own--a situation for which the system has never quite prepared...
...that fully 19% of them think they are in that top 1%, and an additional 20% expect to be one day. It turns out to be Bush who makes a fairness case: Why shouldn't everyone who pays taxes get a tax cut?

The public's inability to dissociate these messages contributes to the perception that there is no difference...
...crooked mother-and-son team who attempt to convince her that she's the son's mentally unstable wife, "Julia Ross" is distinguished by topnotch camerawork and George Macready?s over-the-top turn as the middle-aged mama's boy who likes to play with his pocket knife. "So Dark the Night", on the other hand, is a masterful little whodunit about a French detective who faces the biggest puzzle of his career. The denouement of this forgotten gem is so potent that it was later used as the climax to Agatha Christie's last Hercule Poirot novel, "Curtain...
