...Hall, Woody Allen recalls a farcical episode from his childhood where his mother drags him in to see a psychiatrist, convinced that her son is suffering from depression because he’s stopped doing his homework. A nebbishy but precocious nine year-old, his face dwarfed by the trademark horn-rimmed glasses, kid Woody is a charming avatar of his neurotic, anhedonic adult persona. “The universe is everything,” he says by means of justification. “And if it’s expanding, someday it will break apart—and that...
...arms extended, smiling, jumping, and laughing to my heart’s content. But there was one thing missing: my finishing move. I was inspired, as past readers will attest to, by WWE Wrestling and, that’s right, D Generation X.

...swing states. It is dispatching more of its most prominent female supporters - including Clinton - to campaign for Obama and argue his case on the airwaves. In Pennsylvania the Obama field operation put together a "Take Your Daughter to Canvass" day; in Florida it was organizing one of Obama's trademark megarallies specifically for women, offering tickets to sororities, breast-cancer organizations, Planned Parenthood, teachers organizations and nurses groups. Meanwhile, both campaigns are spending heavily on reaching these women over the airwaves. According to the New York Times, Oprah is getting more political advertising than any other non-news show, with...
