...scientist--or the gambler--in us has to admit that there is something in what McDermott says. Falling in love can seem fairly random, involving routines that could be applied to anyone: stares, smiles, witty remarks, revealing remarks, endearing remarks, hands touch, lips touch. We know the drill. Bow to your partner, curtsy to your corner. Suddenly your corner becomes your partner. Are the stars out tonight? I only have eyes...
Liar's courage aside, certain couples do seem destined. It is difficult to imagine substitute partners for Fred and Ginger, Rhett and Scarlett, Roy and Dale. Would a benevolent fate have tossed together George and Dale? Roy and Gracie? I have a hard time picturing Bonnie and Ozzie. There's a wizened couple who travel in New York semi-literary circles who are both so poisonous, it is impossible to believe the gods would have allowed them to infect two others...
...these programs seem born of an effort not only to create programming with a female point of view but also to attract women who may fall outside the demographic of single city girls age 25 and 26.

At any rate, Oxygen plans to run female-oriented sitcoms, cartoons and even game shows. Presumably Calista Flockhart and Lea Thompson won't be slugging...
...hardware and software than for fancy razors and soda. A stronger dollar took away some of the pizazz. And some of the great brands have run out of room to show double-digit growth without bumping into one another. This week saw another tough quarter from Pepsi, which can seem to win only if it spends massively to take market share from Coke. Microsoft and Intel face far fewer constraints on their growth...
