...logic by which, step by tiny step, chaos asserts its dominion over normalcy. Take that naked fellow on the roof. Until today, he was a perfectly normal lawyer, a trifle nervous about meeting his fianc?e's family, but steadying himself by taking what he thought was a Valium. Not his fault that he grabbed the wrong pill bottle and ingested a hallucinogen instead. And so it goes - the obsessive, the insecure, the clinically demented, the madly narcissistic and the merely stuffy: A lot of hidden agendas are going to come out of the closet before this movie winds...

...Escarra was telling me then what Chavez himself told his critics this week from his lectern at the National Assembly, as he formally proposed the term-limit reform and a host of other constitutional changes: "I recommend," said Chavez, "that they take a Valium." In other words, Chill out. If French Presidents can seek re-election indefinitely, say the chavistas, why can't Venezuela's?

...Then it's into the salon, with the mood lighting and the mini-yukata and the music that was apparently written and performed by hobbits on Valium. If you listen closely, you can actually hear my Y chromosome unraveling. After the candling, I receive exfoliation and rejuvenation treatment. My skin is doused with gentle citric acids. I feel a deep, satisfying tingle; I haven't been this relaxed since I accidentally mixed Ambien and Taiwanese cinema...

...sport that American comedian Robin Williams memorably described as "baseball on valium" suddenly such big business? Because Indians don't find it dull at all. Cricket is the closest thing to a universal religion in a diverse nation that is home to a sixth of the world's population. Until the Indian TV market opened to private broadcasters in the early 1990s, however, its potential was untapped. A state-owned broadcaster, Doordashan, held a monopoly on TV rights, and "they used to give them away," groans Thawani.
