...sensible, pretty, gainfully employed as the owner of a catering service and, aside from an annoying laugh, brought on by tension, as delectable as one of the dishes she purveys at weddings and bar mitzvahs. Benign neglect on the part of her mother strikes one as excellent option. But Keaton's Daphne is an up-and-doing sort of person and she's soon trolling the Internet for suitable mates, coming up with an architect called Jason (Tom Everett Scott), who is a little bit too tightly wound. She conducts her interviews with dating prospects in a restaurant under...

In what she said was her first such protest in 34 years, the actress joined marchers in Washington to demand that U.S. troops leave Iraq.

...Americans may think the troops should come home, but I don't. The U.S. destabilized an entire region by attacking Iraq on some trumped-up pretext, so walking away is not an option. The U.S. created the problem and must now fix it. The very Americans who voted Bush into office must accept responsibility for their actions. Mark Lynn Pietermaritzburg, South Africa...
