Tipper Gore has been lugging around a textbook on depression, which is oddly out of place in the hands of such a cheerful woman, the one person who seems to be able to unstuff the shirt of Vice President Al Gore. He gets so relaxed around her that at one of the marathon health-care task force meetings recently, he rubbed her aching neck. The neck notwithstanding, the Vice President says Tipper is "having a blast" in her job as mental-health adviser to the President's health-care task force, a slight exaggeration of the pleasure of spending late...
...which. But anyone who has questioned his version, or his scripts, has soon learned that Eszterhas is a scrappy, macho type who stands by his words. "I've always believed in fighting for my work," he says, decked out in his usual patched jeans, cowboy boots and decidedly nondesigner shirt. "I've taken great pride in being a writer, and I demanded a certain kind of treatment. When I haven't been treated that way, I've either fought back very hard or I've walked."

Wearing shorts, sandals and a Willie Nelson T shirt, he walked down the Boardwalk to the old Strand Motel; less than an hour later, he walked out having agreed to buy it for $8.5 million in cash. Wynn razed the Strand and built the 506-room Golden Nugget, which quickly exceeded by 50% the revenues it was projected to make based...
Written on a piece of paper or on a T shirt, the theory of everything would just lie there waiting for something else to breathe fire into it. The question of whether the universe is steady state or Big Bang, or whether it has 10 dimensions or four, is just decorative trim around the grand mystery of why anything or any law exists. But by reminding us of our deep cosmic ignorance, science, far from dulling the mystery of existence, sharpens it the way garlic wafting on the evening breeze whets your appetite. It reminds us that we dwell...
