...Greenspan was careful to make the usual rounds: a brief brood on the menace of wage pressures; and a light-hearted refusal to mention interest rates...
...supposed to reap what you sow. It is here that Boogie Nights delivers its most surprising, and most deeply, American turn. Anderson's menagerie of sleazy characters find redemption in family.

When we showed up in small-town cafes and feedlots to show photos of cow No. 388 (Lori's brood) and No. 441 (mine), we invariably created a sensation--the old good/evil polarity, plus, well, we were and are stars.
