...compounds known as phytoestrogens, which are estrogens produced by plants. Forget the fact that tofu doesn't taste particularly good, Shandler breezily advises. "It's like flour. Flour is a useful ingredient. Nobody expects it to taste good." Just throw a little silken tofu into a blender, add a splash of vanilla extract, a sprinkling of cocoa powder, a dollop of maple syrup, and you'll see. "I truly love this food," she insists, and so, apparently, do her husband and kids...
Such a vision, expressed so unabashedly by a bona fide member of the academic elite, stands to make a splash in the upmarket reaches of academia, theology and perhaps even among mainline Protestant preachers.

She appeared on a Billy Graham Crusade, wrote a best-selling autobiography whose royalties she used to found a religious organization to aid the handicapped, and has a radio program airing on 700 stations.

One morning at the recent Sundance Film Festival, the co-chairman of Miramax Films eagerly devoured a greasy omelette (the secret ingredient: cholesterol) while schmoozing with a reporter about art, movies and life in general. It's been said that a family of four could subsist for a month on the crumbs that stick to Weinstein's shirt. That family may soon need to find other means of dietary support...
...prancing about with Laertes in their respective chest wigs, he does it as if cut from the same cloth as "Flash Gordon." Throwing his rapier from the balcony like a javelin, Hamlet pins Claudius to his throne (note: poetic justice) and swings down on the chandelier in order to splash drops of poison into his mouth, all the while bellowing about his impending death, the stellar revenge he has enacted, and his chest hair.
