...only? Same way with movie directors, with people who were good at writing in high school and so on. We need to believe that Frank Gehry (or Sydney Pollack) just got a little luckier than we did. And they need to pretend the same thing, lest they be mistaken for egomaniacs. On the other hand, if you?re good at something and have the opportunities to keep going (architectural firms are not for nothing called ?practices?) your gifts likely will out. And from time to time in this film I thought I detected , mostly from his silences, just a hint...

Alas, he was mistaken. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 166 American children born today will fall somewhere on the autistic spectrum. That's double the rate of 10 years ago and 10 times the estimated incidence a generation ago.

Although The Sandman, Gaiman's 1989-96 series of comic books about a family of flawed immortals, has sold more than 7 million copies, the mainstream media tended to be sniffy.

...guaranteed enough funds for its first few years, but there is no certainty as to how it will survive after the checks cease. And on top of everything, now the UC has to reassess what it plans to do with its now-irrelevant social board. The approach was clearly mistaken from the start. We needed centralization and accountability, not the multiplication of elections and bureaucracy.But most members of the UC do not seem to realize the connection between the two events.
