...When a grown women (like the Catherine Keener character in The 40 Year Old Virgin) approaches an Apatow hero, she'll often induce not passion but panic attacks, and need to take the lead, be aggressive, help him learn how to cope in the land beyond his obsessions and fears. (In Step Brothers Alice has that job, and she assumes it with missionary zeal.) Women are the Other to these six-foot kids. Inside, the Apatow movies say, men are really lost boys looking for a Wendy. Or, ever better, another Peter Pan - a rebellious youth who'll never grow...

Accommodation is king-size and regally furnished - leather armchairs, four-poster beds, wall-to-wall libraries - in a line of converted outbuildings. And with geese wandering down the dust avenue that runs between the buildings as horses nuzzle in their pens beyond, the view...
...many Germans, Obama is the embodiment of the American dream and the ideal of a land of opportunity where everyone can make it to the top regardless of race or social background. At a moment when anti-American sentiments have reached unprecedented heights in Germany - a 2007 study by the Pew Research Center found that only 30% of Germans hold a positive view of the U.S. - Obama is seen by many Germans as a symbol of change...
