Feminists did not realize how much the law had tilted in favor of the victims until they found themselves on the side of the accused.

Redstone hails from tenements on Boston's west side. His father was a small-time entrepreneur who opened one of the first drive-in theaters in the country in the 1930s. Redstone had the same scrappiness and a Harvard education, and turned a drive-in into a bustling movie-house company called National Amusements, which grew to 1,200 theaters.

I listed other odd things I'd noticed--the red line snaking down my forehead, the tingling sensation at the end of my nose...
...name shingles derives from cingulum (Latin for belt or girdle) and refers to the fact that the accompanying blisters often cluster in a broad band, typically on just one side of the body. In my case, the skin lesions traced out the end branches of the fifth cranial, or trigeminal, nerve and affected only the left half of my face. In other cases, the lesions might appear on the chest, stomach or back...
