...Caleb has been putting a hefty part of his salary toward buying a boat while she can't afford to buy her invalid mother a wheelchair and bed. (Another of the movie's distinctions: focusing on money, or its absence, as an abrasive factor in marital life.) At the request of his father (Harris Malcom), Caleb promises to abide by a spiritual regimen called The Love Dare, in which he'll attempt some act or attitude of kindness toward his estranged wife each day for 40 days. He is encouraged in this by a coworker at the firehouse, Michael...

But getting it done was not pretty or easy, and the clearest sign of that was in the sheer size of the legislation itself; Paulson's original request was barely three pages long, whereas...
While the bill is intended to help fix, or at least calm, the ailing economy, perhaps the most immediate impact has been on the presidential campaign. Since Paulson made his request on Sept. 18, McCain has lost the 3-point lead in national polls - his first in the general election - which he'd built on the back of his successful convention and pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate. He now trails Obama by 6 percentage points, according to an average of national polls by the nonpartisan website RealClearPolitics, and the focus of the campaign has shifted from character...
