...rest of the Adventureland gang is good company as well. There's gangly, pimply, well-read Joel (Martin Starr), who offers James proof that there's intelligent life outside the Ivies. Lisa P (Margarita Levieva) is the essence of a mid-'80s goddess, all lip gloss, tight high-waisted pants and fluffy hair.

...most pregnant women, a key part of their birth plan involves how they'll get to the hospital. But more and more moms-to-be are skipping that step and planning to deliver at home. Old-school birthing is back in style, with well-read women forsaking obstetricians for midwives and epidurals for warm baths. These women want to give birth in their own bed or tub, with none of the medical interventions that have become staples of modern childbirth, like contraction-inducing medication and C-sections, which now serve as the grand finale in nearly a third...
