...Love Happens is the new Jennifer Aniston movie and, as it happens, her fourth to hit theaters in the past 10 months. This time she plays Eloise, a Seattle florist who drives a quirky van and wears cunning hats. As per usual, Aniston has bountiful hair and a fretful mouth and is available for love. The object of her tepid affection is Burke (Aaron Eckhart), the best-selling author of a self-help book called A-Okay!. Burke has specialized in trying to cajole others out of grief since his wife died in a car accident three years before...
...wait, I focused on the woefully underappreciated actor John Carroll Lynch. You might remember him from Fargo, in which he played Marge Gunderson's husband Norm, or Things We Lost in the Fire, in which he gave a compellingly tender and pleasingly peculiar performance as Halle Berry's neighbor.

For some, FOP is undoubtedly a cherished experience. The leaders are knowledgeable and friendly, and a spirit of openness and acceptance reigns (though with each saccharine bonding activity my morale chipped slowly away). The kids on my trip were nice, fun, and (unlike me) made the best of their experience. Nevertheless, I remain convinced that there are some people, like myself, who had an awful experience...
...political strategist James Carville and contributed to his new book. “I know that I want to end up in Washington, probably on the Hill, or maybe working in the administration on policy,” this 2009 Truman Scholarship winner said. “I love it there.” Wanna be like these girls? “I encourage anyone at Harvard who’s trying to figure out what they want to do, to listen to their gut and their heart, and follow their dreams and their own individual aspirations...
