...gestation, Christina Ricci, the original star, grew too old for Enid. Enter Birch, fresh from her role as the daughter in American Beauty, and Johansson, who has been playing wise children for almost half her life (Manny & Lo, The Horse Whisperer). "Enid is an original," says Birch, now 19. "Timeless." So is the actress's incarnation. She gives Enid the stooped posture and scowl of an overweight spinster; she's a prematurely old soul. Johansson, now 16, is nifty as Enid's more passive ally. "Rebecca's head is screwed on right," Johansson notes, "but Enid's is sort...
...western slopes of the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park. Farther up the valley, a group of visitors watched a pack of coyotes dispersing hurriedly after a wolf's howl pealed through the trees. As the sun lingered on the peaks, the valley took on a timeless quality, and the human visitors went quiet as they gazed at the landscape and the wildlife around them...
...things that last just an instant: a dance, a meal, Heath Ledger's career. Fashion belongs squarely in the latter category. To do fashion well, one has to master the momentary, to catch time in a bottle green, double-faced cashmere maxicoat.

The most significant entry is his pioneering work of new Journalism, "Twirling at Old Miss," in which ever-libidinous Ter visits a baton-twirling academy in Mississippi (where, curiously, the girls all seem to talk like Candy Christian) mere days after Faulkner's funeral. His novelist's eye colors...
...Option 1: Quit. The old standby. Tried. True. Timeless. Its elegance and simplicity have always made it attractive, and I can't help thinking that it might be the best choice for me right now (I personally have quit many times, and its short-term benefits are quiet compelling). There is the small problem of sneaking past the course officials without being seen, of plowing two or three miles through deep snow and trackless wilderness to avoid the grandstand, the starting gate, the shooting range and all the other skiers. That'd be tricky, but it's doable. Then just...
