...assault by the proponents of useless information. Ferris is no ordinary truant. The point of his exercise is not to waste the day but to spend it wisely. Or wise-guyly. So he will spring his best girl (Mia Sara) from school. He will get his best friend (Alan Ruck, who is lovely as a boy struggling for security) to abscond with the family Ferrari so they can tool about in style. They will talk their way into a chic restaurant, enliven an ethnic parade and, at every point, avoid the forces of propriety. Chief among these are Ferris' sister...

...Rebecca Ruck Dunn and her husband moved to Minturn from Vail two years ago. The big draw: they could buy a single-family home for the $500,000 they'd pay for a condo at the Prada end of the valley, where Range Rovers and $3 million villas outnumber cattle and sheep. Growth, Dunn wistfully notes, is inevitable. "But," she adds, "I hope we can grow gracefully. There are resort towns that were in the position Minturn is in now.

Cullen pulls a stream...

...hold on a second! Beyond telling me to find new friends (not something I had actually suggested), Shelley was hinting that I was unattractive. Sure, this was because she was under the false, Parker-inspired impression that I looked like famed character actor Alan Ruck, which I don’t, but I was unsettled by the thought that this woman at least had a sense that I was a skinny kid with a “Love Me Do” haircut. And she knew my plans for The Game. And she knew the date and time of Kenyon?...
