...chat. He starts to talk about his next project, which will be a love story, something romantic that will give more prominent screen time to women, who typically have only cameo roles in his films. Despite being married for 23 years and having two kids, Beat allots little psychic space for women in his public persona. His brother insists that for all of Beat's showbiz bravado, at his core he is a shy man who has trouble forging intimate bonds with his family and friends. He is, Masaru says, a lonely guy: "The one thing I wish...

If Lauren really is, despite her belief to the contrary, unstrung, or if her experiences with Mr. Tuttle...
...their adoring yet capricious faithful. Around age seven I decided that rooting for the Niners was really a waste of time - they would win with or without me. On the other hand, the Browns (my dad's team since his youth in Akron, Ohio) would benefit greatly from my psychic energy.
