Over here on the left, fighting for the blue states, the Munro family: Bob (Robin Williams), Jamie (Cheryl Hines) and their disaffected offspring. They are, as you might imagine, oppressed by getting and spending somewhat beyond their means, and their whole way of life is threatened by Bob?s fat-headed and sadistic boss. He insists that Bob cancel a family vacation in Hawaii in order to attend a merger meeting in Colorado. Bob refuses to admit the pressure he?s under, rents an ungainly RV and pretends the trip will re-bond his family...

...criticism, she was greatly distressed, but she admitted to “borrowing.” In later editions she punctiliously added footnotes that she explained in her preface. Perhaps Viswanathan will do the same. Viswanathan has recently apologized, and while the “apology” seems somewhat contrived, it is at the very least an apology. Apparently she is a huge fan of McCafferty’s works (big surprise), and she “may have internalized Ms. McCafferty’s words,” that is, of course, before she “externalized?...

...wife Susan and soon-to-be-wife Rebecca all unloaded millions of dollars' worth of stock when Enron's fortunes started to plummet. When the prosecution pressed him about the coincidence, Skilling denied talking to them about the company's fortunes, testimony that his ex-wife confirmed, somewhat unconvincingly, in court. (The jury tittered when she said she "didn't pay much attention" to her ex.) "They directly impeached him on insider trading. His story's just not credible," says Houston attorney David Berg, author of The Trial Lawyer: What It Takes to Win. "The fact that he's been...
