...writer of high literary merit - Atonement was TIME's book of the year in 2001. Yes, I feel a personal karmic debit to McEwan, because I once misspelled his name as McKewan very publicly in print and feel guilty about it (I was thinking of Ian McKellen, OK?) One could haul out the usual verities about how all great writers steal, Shakespeare included, and how in the Middle Ages plagiarism wasn't even considered a bad thing, but it's really not necessary.

If the sapphire or the emerald covers it, well then OK. I just personally want a diamond because I like the way they look - and I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as you get one from a supplier who is in compliance with the Kimberley Process. What type of symbol are you thinking about wearing...
...that he might be a middle-aged Neil Simon garment worker having his first fling with a hooker. The playwright (and director, Scott Ellis) want to be both naughty and cool. There's utterly no passion, not to mention plausibility, in this relationship. (Deadpan exchange: "Let's get started." "OK, I'll get aroused...
