...scene that recasts this moment of blind, frozen protection in a hilariously surreal mode occurs when Steve and Lindy become friends after their plastic surgeries and wander around the surgeon’s building complex at night. At one point, they find themselves on the stage of a convention room by the catering table, when one of the organizers opens the curtains and comments, “It’s a man. With a bandaged head, wearing a night-gown. That’s all it is, I see it now. It’s just that he?...
...many consumers are feeling deceived now that the company has been outed for failing to tell the public that its bottles were not BPA-free, at least not the ones that were manufactured before August 2008.

Amaya, who is throwing a bash with a friend, adds, "Honestly, it's hurting my wallet." So why suck the blood out of your finances?

Sitting in Dunster House on a recent evening, “Ian” is fidgety, shaking his legs and darting his fingers after a pen on a nearby desk before picking it up to twirl it into a plastic blur. He looks like a nervous student—not the stony-limbed picture of calm so familiar from televised poker tournaments. And yet Ian, who works with a student group at Harvard and requested that his real name not be used for this piece, is very much a poker player—a professional online, who says...
