...found Elizabeth Gilbert's essay "A Family Divided" to be eminently sad [Oct. 20]. An Obama supporter, Gilbert tells us she is "losing sleep" over the possibility that her father will vote for McCain. She worries that it "could somehow threaten our affection." Really? I understand that many people are passionate in their political beliefs, but to obsess over your own father's political preferences to the point where you want to "scold him or force him to accept [your] worldview" strikes me as rather extreme and narrow-minded.

Two glowing alien women appear toward the end and begin to gyrate against each other. The final shot shows Kanye attempting to sleep on that white couch, and the elapsed four minutes feel like 30. So what’s the hidden message here? Is Ye planning his own misogynistic murder spree? Maybe making some broader social commentary involving the late 80s recession and the current credit crunch?

Everything But a Lullaby. Talk about taking your mission seriously. Westin's Chicago River North hotel has installed a testing room - a quasi sleep lab - created in consultation with sleep scientists, dedicated to figuring out how to help guests combat jet lag. It's unadvertised, but the Concept Room has been available to guests to reserve for about a year and has already spawned several sleep-inducing ideas - like blackout curtains - that are now standard in all Westin guest rooms. Another Concept Room program that will soon be rolled out nationwide is Sleep TV, a channel offering guided meditation...
