...question that e-banks are a better deal, if slightly less convenient. Mailing deposits is a drag, but direct deposit helps, as do new super ATMs. And because most branchless banks reimburse you for ATM fees, "they're essentially offering more freedom than any other bank," says analyst Greg McBride. More freedom, but less hand holding. Kind of like growing...
...Billboard jazz chart immediately upon its release. She has a jazz drummer fiance, her parents love and support her, and her career is backed by an all-star squad of management, publicity and production pros, as well as sidemen straight from the first team: pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Christian McBride, saxophonist Michael Brecker. Most of all, her voice is a silken, controlled wonder that is both a genetic gift and the product of superb training. When she wraps it around one of the classic American songs she loves to sing, you know Jane Monheit can't miss...
...Kelley (The Practice) treatment: big histrionics, big issues and more hot-button pushing than an attack ad. The overwrought pilot alone hits social promotion, desegregation, guns and student-teacher sex. For an encore, Kelley may have to blow up the school.

Farkle's solution (or, rather, Lithgow's) is just clever enough to please kids and parents alike. The exaggerated illustrations give a farcical air to the tale, which has already put in an appearance on the Times...
...learn that it takes 8,000 lbs. of pressure to crush a car but only one credited screenwriter (Scott Rosenberg) to pound out such a lame script. In the Bruckheimer tradition, Memphis assembles a team to carry off the job: a father figure (Robert Duvall), the token black (Chi McBride) and a mute (Brit footballer Vinnie Jones) with a gift for setting cars on fire. Angelina Jolie is here as the nominal girl-jock love interest, but Memphis' true love is a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500. As he says of his early career, "I didn...
