...these cases, there's a predictable topography to how people influence one another, one that can be reduced to a sort of social map. People who are central to their networks--who in effect are the hub through which most of the other relationships or information flows--may have the most influence on others and in turn are the most influenced by them. But just because you start off at the center of your web does not guarantee that you'll stay there. In the 1970s, smokers were more likely to occupy that focal position in their network of friends...
...ever done anything like it before. “Doing the show for the first five seasons was a kind of otherworldly experience,” he says. “The show was so hot, way more than it deserved to be.

There's another movie out Dec. 10 nationally on video-on-demand on IFC, Where God Left His Shoes. It's a very dramatic, sort of anti-Christmas movie, which is my favorite genre.

Surely, the practice of some of the biggest U.S. banks of selling junk papers to unsuspecting clients, many of whom are pensioners, is far more despicable. The U.S. authorities must be aware that European investors who have been cheated in this fashion might...
...quite miserable, but I was very lucky. It was great fun in fact to be young in New York. I cut off my hair, bleached it, I dressed in a fashionable way of old clothes because I couldn’t afford new ones. I became a sort of exotic figure, took a lot of drugs, had a lot of sex with people I never saw again. Did lots of things that would kill you now, but it was that sort of time. Everyone was nice and open and I came at a time when it was easier...
