...odious get-rich-quick or get-horny-quick e-mail that it can't seem to keep out of my own mailbox, has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience under the firm guidance of its editors: a "kids-only" AOL account blocks young users from all but full-time-monitored chat rooms and prescreened kid-friendly sites...
...accident was comforted by the beautiful singing of the woman (Audra McDonald) whose car had hit him. Two G.I.'s (Brian Dennehy and George Wendt) play a game of Botticelli while waiting for, and then gunning down, a lone enemy soldier.

Feminism has stalled, Greer argues convincingly if muddily, pointing out that the equality women have fought...
...View has more to offer. Along with a nuanced picture of the anguish a mother and daughter can cause each other without even trying, the play develops several contrapuntal themes: the rise of Dominic (Tate Donovan) from striving young critic to media superstar; Esme's descent into financial ruin; her mother-in-law's slide into senility.
