...introduced a collection of designer sheets and other home furnishings. In 1986 he opened the $14 million New York City flagship in the Rhinelander mansion on Madison Avenue and filled it with antiques. To critics who bemoaned the extravagance, Lauren effectively said, "It's the marketing, stupid." Now much of the real estate on upper Madison Avenue is devoted to similar showplaces in which designer after designer presents the lifestyle he or she is trying to promote...
...meat market--none of them have "Love" or "Marry" in their title--and they don't root themselves in cockamamie romantic truisms. For young viewers who spent their entire lives in the aids era, they're a safe fantasy of commitment-free dating, all about getting lucky, drunk and stupid with little at stake.

It would be folly to try to diagnose Yoder--over the years, mental-health professionals have offered several different diagnoses, including bipolar disorder for a time and delusional disorder now. But to a layperson, Yoder seems more petulant than demented. He banged the table a couple of times. He said overblown...
HANKS: Just going there, win or lose, you're praying, please, keep me from doing something so stupid that it haunts me for the rest of my career. That's either falling down or making a joke that's not funny. Or trying to be serious and sounding sappy. If you can't handle that pressure...
