...makes me feel good every time I come in here," says Dan Rood, 41, a divorced insurance salesman in Orlando, Fla., as he surveys the vast, room-size closet he created two years ago. The 21-ft. by 10-ft. space is heavy with rich wood; a flat-screen TV is tucked behind a two-way mirror; there's a bar for entertaining and, of course, counters, as well as cabinets with room to display 39 pairs of shoes.

The look-alike daughter of France's legendary comic actress Josiane Balasko is lighting up the silver screen herself these days. In two breakout roles last year, she wowed the critics.

Traditional poker mavens thus depended upon their ability to analyze human expression, a skill made obsolete by keyboards and screen names. A lip twitch there, a cleared-throat here, and a sharp intake of breath from competition to the left—these were the precursors to quick uploads and winning odds. Bluffing was an art; graphic animation counted for little. Strategic smiles meant more than statistical breakdowns...
Colbert also follows O’Reilly in placing a series of talking points in the upper right corner of the screen. Colbert shares O’Reilly’s disdain for the media “elite,” but Colbert takes it further—he abhors elitist things like “dictionaries...
