First stop--the chaotic home of Abby's aunt, uncle and cousins, where the majority of the inhabitants are under the age of four. In the land of the little people the three-and-a-half-year-old twin cousins reign, and references to "pee-pee juice" and "stinky head" generate ongoing hysteria. We quickly adapted to most aspects of our temporary home: Cheerios, cheese sandwiches and jokes about excretory functions served us well. We watched Bambi, played hide-and-go-seek in the dark hallways of the aquarium and got to be veloceraptors in prehistoric playground battles. But ultimately...

Because of the twin trends of long hours (10% more than we worked in 1969) and more women working (18 million more today than in 1980, or about 50% of the labor force), more Americans than ever are flirting, dating and propositioning at work.

There's Gale, who ridicules Freundlich's melodramatic pauses but turns down...
...Mask is a puff piece, good for one of those weekends when there's nothing else to do and the quality of the movie is not too much of an issue. DiCaprio plays both the young King Louis XIV, a philandering and utterly obnoxious young man, and his secret twin brother Phillipe. Phillipe has been locked up in a dungeon for the last six years with an iron mask on his face to conceal his identity. When Louis sends ex-Musketeer Athos' (John Malkovich) son Raoul (Peter Sarsgaard) back to war so that he can pursue his betrothed Christine (Judith...
