...politicians to flaunt his decision to reject Britain for foreign shores is Boris Johnson - but then the disarmingly frank Conservative who became London's mayor in May doesn't have to face voters again for four years. "I say stuff Skegness," Johnson wrote in his column in The Daily Telegraph last week, scorning the seaside town in England's east. "I say bugger Bognor," he added, knocking another in the south.

Colin is the basketball star, who's under pressure from his dad, an Elvis impersonator (could you make this stuff up?), to win a college scholarship. "Otherwise," Dad warns, "it's the Army." Jake is the loner. He'll be handsome once he grows out of his braces and that awful acne, but for now he's content to muse on his misfit fate. Hannah, whose artistic impulses alienate...
