...BUCKETS, BIGGER BELLIES A Cornell University study shows that big portion sizes make even unappetizing food disappear. Moviegoers served large tubs of two-week-old popcorn ate 34% more than did people served the same stale popcorn in medium-size containers. The moviegoers seemed unaware that the tubs made a difference: 77% said they would have eaten as much no matter how big the container...
...While the show may have been forgettable, Delisle's two-month visit wasn't. He was allowed to take a long look at the world's most guarded state. And after he left, Delisle set about recreating his experience using the medium he knows best: cartoons.

If the Fox Network has any money left after its N.F.L. spending binge, Stern could also become a late-night...
...Nevertheless, The Mountain Goats remain The Mountain Goats. Darnielle’s lyrics retain their intellectual density and associative clarity. Moving into more “sincere” subject matter, he reserves a license to artifice by entering an “insincere” medium; hence the overproduced sound and elaborate instrumentation...
