...know how I got to sleep. But I did, and by six o'clock, too. Kids are sleepy, I realize (now that I have one of my own). The alarm, which I'd triple-checked for accuracy and reliability, woke me at 11:20. I quietly got out of bed and dragged a blanket with me into the living room. I turned on the TV which (thank God) still worked. But could the TV Guide have been wrong? It seemed inconceivable, but I wouldn't relax until I saw the opening title. I was the only...

...always have a version of "Kong" around. It's an emotional insurance policy, a government bond I can cash out when things get to be too much. People do funny things when they're hurting; some of them drink, some of them cry, some of them just go to bed. The night my grandmother died my grandpa sat alone in his living room and read "Treasure Island" from cover to cover. If it had been me, I'd have been watching "King Kong...

...piece: a series of three photographs shot in one room. In the first photograph of this tryptich, a woman with dark brown hair and glasses sits on a bed, only the head of which is visible behind her. The center photograph presents another angle of the same room. A dresser is visible as well as a doorway, through which a portion of a darkened room can be seen. Through the doorway, a portrait of a mother and daughter is just visible. The last photograph depicts the same scene as the first, but the woman in this photo, although she looks...
