Each face carries a grudge. The men mutter and growl and get fall-down drunk. The women wheedle and whine. Or they knit furiously, like Lindsay Duncan in Grown-Ups, as if rehearsing to put her unloving husband's eyes out. Or they throw insults like darts. "Drop dead!" shouts the pretentious Beverly (Steadman) at her husband in Abigail's Party (1977); two minutes later, he does. The hate-filled wife in Home Sweet Home is an adulterer, but infidelity with her husband's best friend gives the woman no more pleasure than anything else in her sorry life. There...
...really believe that. In the words of that very smart screenwriter William Goldman, "Stars will not play weak, and they will not play blemished"--especially stars who are playing potential feminist paragons. Indeed, we're pretty sure Patrick Sheane Duncan's script will also find some circumstances to extenuate Serling's initial screw-up, since he's played by a star...

Then Duncan saw something else: a jet-black discoloration on the fish's tail and rear section. The trout was clearly diseased. "I was shocked...
...Duncan was lucky; he caught and released several more fish that afternoon. Other trout aficionados will make the pilgrimage to Colorado's and Montana's world-renowned wild-trout streams this fishing season and come away skunked. The cause: the tail-blackening "whirling disease," a mysterious and usually fatal ailment that is spreading rapidly through prized trout populations of the Rocky Mountain West. In Colorado, where the rainbow is the mainstay of a $1 billion-a-year game-fishing industry, the disease has infected hatcheries, devastated trout on a prime stretch of the Colorado River and spilled into...
