...walk around carrying a bunch of regrets," says Affleck about his stint as a tabloid fixture. "There are things that I haven't quite figured out. I don't know enough to say that I've come to any certain conclusions other than that I prefer to be where I am now." Clearly, the public adulation turned savagery that he experienced has left him changed. In a line from the movie that's not in the book, Casey's character, Patrick Kenzie, quotes Matthew 10: 16: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves...
...Department of Health and Hospitals by Blanco's predecessor, two-term Republican Mike Foster, at the ripe old age of 24. The Baton Rouge native guided the bloated department through a rough period of cutbacks, both in jobs and reimbursements to health care providers; that work led to a stint as director of a federal Medicare commission at 27 and head of the Louisiana State University system a year later.

...seven children, Wong was born during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and had to leave school to work. "I will never forget that I was hungry for many years," says Wong, who these days maintains homes in Hong Kong and Singapore and on Australia's Gold Coast. A stint behind the counter at Elizabeth Arden led to 25 years in the beauty business, culminating in a job working for Este Lauder as regional sales and marketing director for Asia. A haphazard search for wide shoes led Wong to Ferragamo and eventually into fashion. Soon she was the brand...
