He wrote every day, but the unpublished work was stored away in a large safe that occupied a good part of one bedroom. She tells us that because she found sexual intercourse with Salinger too painful and frightening to complete, she remained...
...plaintiffs called more than a dozen witnesses, including the two gay couples who are the plaintiffs, to speak about the importance of marriage, its impact on children and the role religion played in the campaign for Prop 8.

All told, a record 29 players are skipping Sunday's game. (See the legends of the NFL's "greatest game ever...
...strangely satisfying spectacle when Domino's admitted, once and for all, that they actually made really crappy pizza. To atone for their sins, they announced, they redesigned their pies "from the crust up." The not-to-be-missed mea culpa video features ashen-faced executives responding like Soviet show-trial prisoners to customer complaints, which run along the lines of "totally void of flavor," "tastes like cardboard" and "the worst excuse for pizza I ever...
