WALLS OF SHAME Billboards in 20 cities will now bear the mug shots of the FBI's most wanted. After a test of the strategy led to the arrest of a man suspected of killing a police officer in Philadelphia, the bureau secured a deal with Clear Channel Outdoor to use 150 digital boards, which will also flash security messages and alerts about missing children...
...Jake Kasdan, who also directs with a light and glancing hand. They are good-natured lads - smart, but not mean-spirited - and richly blessed by the presence of John C. Reilly in the title role.

Before sitting down to write this column, the final edition of Around the Ivies stamped with my goofy mug (online readers, you’ll have to trust me), I watched Jeopardy! and put on sweats. But before that, I brainstormed, “What’s something special I can do to mark this last go-round?” I considered sending a coded message with the first letter of every paragraph, or peppering the prose with phrases in Spanish, or letting my 14-year-old sister write it to see if anyone would notice...
