...laboring mother is rushed in for care. OBs don't see the uneventful births that proceed successfully at home. What's more, doctors in this position find themselves not just being forced to take on someone else's case, but someone else's problem. That's enough to sour them on the entire profession...
...Sterns' nation is one with at least a few places still serving the Kentucky burgoo (thick stew) Kurlansky dug up in those WPA files, as well as South Carolina perloo (meat-and-rice dish), Wisconsin hoppel poppel (meal in a skillet), Ohio sauerkraut balls and even the Vermont sour-milk doughnuts that Kurlansky longs for. The Sterns' America has endless varieties of hot dogs and dueling chowders. It's a land where men still gather to eat lamb fries, prairie oysters and other forms of animal testicle...

If anything, the Sterns are confused as to why many of these dishes are still regional - why, for example, the Midwest's sour-cream raisin pie hasn't joined Texas' nachos on more menus.

Instead, he wondered if Christianity wasn't ultimately Hitler's final target, and summarily disposed of the complicated moral question of German society's "collective responsibility" by blaming the systematic extermination...
...Again - the film is a body-swap comedy about a sour guy in his 30s (Matthew Perry) who gets to inhabit his cool teenage self (Efron) - could be the title of the young star's career. As basketball stud and dance master Troy Bolton, he headlined three editions of Disney's High School Musical: two wildly popular TV specials and a movie version that earned $251 million at the world box office. He also co-starred in the hit film Hairspray, a savvier, '60s high school musical...
