...working-class parents, Jobs became a millionaire by age 25, an American icon by age 30 and corporate history the same year, all thanks to Apple. It would be easy to read his return--12 years after he was booted by the board--as a moment of sweet revenge. But for Jobs, who grew up idolizing the Hewlett-Packard ideal of an egalitarian workplace where ideas came before hierarchy, returning to Apple is something akin to rescuing a son before he loses himself to booze and bad company. There has been a literal deathwatch on Apple in recent weeks...
...original sin of recent decades. She calls the phenomenon "expressive divorce" and locates its origins in postwar prosperity. For Whitehead there's a close connection between soaring divorce rates and middle-class narcissism, and though divorce rates have actually plateaued, the siren song of personal liberation sounds as sweet as ever. Pollitt is contemptuous of the notion. She says, "The picture is that people are going along married and in a state of, if not ecstasy, then reasonable content.

A fan happened to read Notorious by Dailey and Sweet Revenge by Roberts back to back and posted strikingly similar passages on the Internet. ("Like a rocket, the heat tore up her arm," in one; "Like a rocket, the heat tore down her fingertips," in the other.) Roberts, who once published 10 novels in a year, began to scan Dailey...
...controlled cop covering up a killing, De Niro as a flinty internal-affairs detective on Keitel's trail, Liotta as a good-bad cop--while he watches, listens, recedes into the wallpaper. Mining his own insecurity to mirror Freddy's, Stallone dominates these scenes with his poignant passivity. The sweet sadness in his eyes reveals something rare in modern films: how much pain and insult a decent man with zero self-esteem can endure. Of course, he and we know he's the hero who, at the end, will bust out of his emotional lethargy; the soft Rocky will become...
