...destructive and self-sabotaging. Beautiful performances were often followed up by several lazy ones. Brando would blatantly goof off like a petulant child if he didn't get his way on set. And all the way, in his mind, Brando knew his talent was going to waste. As he grew crazier, and bigger, his myth grew bigger and crazier in kind. While Kanfer piles on the psychobabble early on, he eventually settles down and delivers a respectful and comprehensive, if not exactly groundbreaking, look at a truly mad genius...
...McAfee, former religious liaison for the Clinton White House, may have the most original idea for you: the church at Fort Myer, the Army base just across the Potomac in Arlington, Va. "I grew up an Army brat," she says, "and I think the Obamas could solve a lot of potential problems by going to a military chapel.

In his debut music video, “Head of My Class,” Smiff declares himself to be, well, the head of his class. His claim to fame as a dancer attracts all the ladies, despite...

For a time, a majority of Americans agreed. Taxes and regulations were cut and cut again, and for the most part, the economic pie grew. In the 1980s and '90s, the garden of American capitalism became a pretty energetic place. But it became a scarier place too. In the newly deregulated American economy, fewer people had job security or fixed-benefit pensions or reliable health care. Some got rich, but a lot went bankrupt, mostly...
