A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had just concluded that folks who are overweight but not obese are at no greater risk of dying prematurely than people of normal weight. You could almost hear the national sigh of relief in the newspaper articles, radio talk shows and monologues of late-night comedians that followed. "I can't tell you how happy this makes me," David Brooks wrote in the New York Times, which devoted a front-page story, an editorial and two Op-Ed pieces...

"My film was not meant to be a success," says a bemused Vinterberg. "That wasn't part of the plan." Even so, established directors adopted Dogme as a way to get their creative juices flowing...
...recent album—self-titled, unsurprisingly—frequently staggers under the weight of tautology, though occasionally recovering long enough to create a few songs that can stand alone. Its opening track “Williamsburg,” for example, is full of lyrics like, “Tell me all the bands that sound like other bands / that we kinda sound like,” or “It’s a Brazilian psychedelic, pop-post-avant-garde garage punk ambient core outfit...
