...Susann, Hollywood big-shots, sex-star hangers-on (Edy as Ashley St. Ives) and record producer Phil Spector (a weird man ultimately outed as a homicidal woman). At the end, the movie slices its own jugular and spurts crimson violence before doubling over in a mock-inspirational coda that somehow blends "Bride and Groom" with the Jerry Lewis Telethon...
...Somehow, one can sense that the “don’t-care” attitude, or at least that of putting up a brave front, has really grown on the common Indian—both those who can afford to leave the country, and those who cannot. No one in New Delhi really seems to worry about a nuclear threat anymore. Life goes on, whether the international community helps solve the Kashmir issue or not (an issue that Indian politicians say they’d love to solve without international interference, and for obvious reasons). And until...
...complications. The WHI study looked at the most popular brand of estrogen and progestin, which is called Prempro and is made by Wyeth. Technically speaking, the WHI findings do not apply to other products. Some doctors have speculated that lower-dose hormones or estrogen-progestin patches and creams might somehow avoid some of the risks associated with Prempro. That has yet to be proved. Even so-called natural hormones (those derived from plants) aren't necessarily risk free. For one thing, they haven't been as carefully tested as Prempro. There is preliminary laboratory evidence, says Dr. Wulf Utian...
...Parish Hall's Sunday chicken dinners on page 2. The creator of the cartoon character Popeye was born in the town of Chester in 1894, and its major annual event is a picnic next to a 900-lb. bronze statue of the sailor man. Popeye's innocent charm somehow coexists with Chester's other landmarks, the Menard prison and the Chester Mental Health Center next door. Of the town's 8,400 residents, more than 3,000 are incarcerated. Some of the mental hospital's residents are quite disturbed: one patient was recently convicted of murder for slicing...
...taken up by a second narrator, Tom Stewart, a British lad who makes the sea trip to Hong Kong in 1934 at age 21. It's here that the narrative slows. On the trip east he meets Sister Maria, a Chinese nun "not so much pretty as perfect." She somehow teaches him Cantonese in six weeks, they become friends and Tom launches his career as a hotelier in Hong Kong, where his Chinese gives him a double-edged insight into the divided colony. The years pass and Stewart comes to love Hong Kong, but his romantic horizon remains clear...
