...never hurts to use a little common sense. If you can't find a pair of drugstore glasses that work for your eyes, you probably need to give up and pay for a prescription pair. Even if you find a pair of glasses that you can read with, don't use that as an excuse to skip regular eye exams. There are other conditions--such as glaucoma--for which you should be checked. Consider the money you save on drugstore glasses as partial payment for your next trip to the eye doctor...

...screens aren't placed within normal reading range.) Probably the trickiest part of selecting the right pair of reading glasses is making sure the lenses are correctly centered over the eyes. Misalignment can cause headaches and eyestrain. Any qualified eye-care provider can check this for you. Many will even tell you which magnification to look...

Most people today remember her, if they remember her at all, for that husky, bourbon-soaked voice and her outsize personality ("Dahhhling"), emblems of a kind of theatrical glamour that was even then going out of style.

As a college student surrounded by strongly opinionated people, I knew that I should have had an idea about which candidate I preferred. Yet even after looking at the candidates' views and positions, I still wasn't sure whom or what to believe or whether my vote would make a difference in the long run. Politics has become such a contest of appeasing the middle ground and getting the vote that it is difficult...

MAAFs exist because most Hollywood screenwriters don't know much about black people other than what they hear on records by white hip-hop star Eminem. So instead of getting life histories or love interests, black characters get magical powers. It doesn't even make financial sense. Smith saved the world in Men in Black and Independence Day, and those movies were huge hits; he carries Damon's clubs in Bagger Vance, and that movie, so far, has been a box-office flop. Smith is a bigger star than Damon, and yet it's Damon who wins the tournament...
