...dreams. A bit excessive for most folks but maybe not by much. David Weekly, a developer whose company builds moderately priced houses in six states, says his typical customers are demanding bigger closets and the attendant accessories. More than 75% of his new houses include a walk-in master closet with at least two rows for hanging clothes and an entire section of shelving. "One rod and a shelf isn't enough anymore," he says. Master closets now average about 6 ft. by 8 ft., a size more typical of an extra bedroom 40 years ago. In the low-mortgage...
Nadine O'Malley, 36, of Hinsdale, Ill., did not simply organize her life through her closet. She realized her fantasies. Spending $50,000, she remade her master-bedroom closets, following photos she had ripped out of Architectural Digest. Her husband Bill's closet now has dark wood, granite counters and custom carpeting (plus a secret passageway to his office).

"It feels like I'm shopping in a fancy store every day," she says...
George McGoldrick, 30, and his partner of 10 years, Joseph Sacco, 29, know what it was like before the closet revolution and have all the fervor of the converted.

In their new $915,000 apartment in Chicago, the couple spent $20,000 to upgrade all six of their closets. Of that amount, $11,000 went toward a 9-ft. by 9-ft. master closet...
...their seats. The opening scene is an especially breathtaking, in-depth visual of a car tire exploding and the metal wheel plate skidding along the ground as sparks fly. The scene catches the audience, immediately mesmerizing them and drawing them into the movie. Unfortunately, even Schaefer’s master camerawork cannot sustain the audience to the end of “Stay,” which is not really an ending at all, but instead a romanticized and flavorless cliffhanger. Overall, “Stay” misses the boat by throwing together a storyline that attempts to combine...
...this year’s shortage is not as critical as last year’s. “We’re not in as tight a situation as last year,” said Dr. Sean Palfrey, who is clinical professor of pediatrics at Boston University and master of Adams House. “We probably have enough [doses] to vaccinate the people who need it most and we have a supply which should come in time to protect [people] for at least the peak flu season, if not the entire flu season.” But Palfrey...
