...addition, four or five Thursdays each semester the House committee sponsors "Stein Clubs," informal gatherings with a keg for those of age and soda for younger house residents, Grayson says...
...Duval family of Provence is introduced as a disaster waiting to happen. The father (Francois Cluzet), a country vet, is angry and impotent. The mother (Brigitte Rouan) is vague and forgetful, unhealthily doting on her younger child Olivier. Olivier's elder sister Nadine (Marina Golovine) thinks entirely too much about extraterrestrials.

Mammograms may be much less likely to detect incipient tumors in younger women because their breast tissue is denser, making the X rays harder to read...
