...made it through junior high loyally preferring Marlon Brando to Luke Perry and Jimmy Dean to Christian Slater, I'll never know. Years before I first blushingly kissed a boy in the eighth grade, I could already recite Humphrey Bogart's monologue to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. After a particularly heartrending breakup at age 16, I cried myself a cathartic river watching Cary Grant, waiting futilely for Deborah Kerr atop the Empire State Building, in "An Affair to Remember...

Meanwhile, in a Los Angeles courtroom, the voluminous MARLON BRANDO joined the volatile SEAN PENN to protest prosecutors' efforts to send former Black Panther Geronimo Pratt back to jail. Pratt was released last year after spending 27 years behind bars for a murder he says he didn't commit...
...intelligent in print. In these comic essays (most from the New Yorker), the voice is often that of the old stand-up Steve: a fellow less cool, less together--and thus funnier--than he thinks he is.

This is high-wire humor, as pure as the drivel snow...
