...boss likes his staff settled down and therefore a little desperate: you know, mortgage, car and tuition payments, maybe a few bills from the orthodontist. When obligations exceed income, the folks at his ad agency work harder and more loyally. That's his theory, anyway, and Kate (Jennifer Aniston) doesn't fit it. She's single and living within an income that does not match her talent. A friend suggests she invent a fiance to get a raise based on this spurious evidence of stability. A wedding videographer named Nick (Jay Mohr) agrees to go along with the gag, hoping...
When actors become singers, the results can be as painful to experience as a dental appointment with a meat packer who moonlights as an orthodontist. Actress Rebecca Pidgeon (who starred in the plays Speed-the-Plow and Oleanna off-Broadway) has released her first U.S. album, The Raven.

The body politic can live without a response to that...
...completely removing the cartilage disk or implanting an artificial hinge. But many experts wince at some recommendations, such as capping every tooth in the patient's mouth in order to reconfigure a bad bite. So do TMJ sufferers. Ruth Shapiro, 40, of Los Angeles, demurred when told by an orthodontist that her only hope was to have reconstructive surgery that would involve breaking her jaw. "He said I wasn't even going to look the same," she recalls in horror. Dentists and patients alike hope such drastic prescriptions will soon disappear. Eventually, they say,temporomandibular-joint disorder should...
