When I was in junior high, she was the terror of my existence. I saw her in winter with her hand-knit beanie cum pastee sparkles on the front. I saw her in spring when the beanie changed into a circa aught six auto veil. She minced from Falcon to classroom, classroom to Falcon. I never saw her go to the ladies room, the cafeteria, or the teachers' lounge.

He has also helped to finance a new Cassavetes-directed film, Women Under the Influence, in which he co-stars with Cassavetes' wife...
...survive in the face of such great odds, they clearly needed more than just luck. Robertson had learned about the sea in his younger days in the merchant marine. His wife had essential medical training. They were also an extremely close-knit group with a will to live. Occasional fierce bickering did break out. In this bestselling book, Robertson's understated narrative compellingly records it all with suitable Scots reserve...
