...corner, Charlie’s Kitchen (10 Eliot St.) sends the same message but in a completely different manner. The ground level of this ’50s-style diner is complete with red booths, a checkered floor and several television sets. Upstairs is a darker bar with loud, though not blaring, rock music and a jukebox. Patrons can order food and drinks on both floors. A big lobster tank immediately inside the front door indicates the type of food served here: classic New England pub grub.

Wiggles stage shows and videos (there are now 10 in the U.S.) don't seem to abide by the rules of entertainment either.

Feinberg, in a black-and-white polka-dot tie, speaks in short, punchy sentences and a loud voice. He has already given the speech 32 times up and down the East Coast. The main thrust: The government, for the first time ever, has agreed to write large checks to victims' families without any litigation. The checks will arrive within four months after a claim is filed--no legal fees, no agonizing 10-year lawsuit. But every award will be based on a cold calculus, much the way courts handle wrongful-death claims...
