...faithful wife who's reached that awkward age where guys are no longer hitting on her. Worse, her husband (Paul Rudd) is withdrawing from her. She thinks he's having an affair, but he's not. What he's sneaking out of the house in search of is quiet male bonding - evenings with the guys that lack the shrillness of his wife's (and kids) restlessness...
...molestation, exploitation, exhibitionism, assault, voyeurism-it's enough to make a parent's head spin.

But Nikki Miyamoto, a costume designer from L.A., brought the R2 she's been working on for two years, with brushed copper plates...
...Wednesday night, after stressing that the “Quad incident” was only an indicator of deeper race-relations problems, Barnhill called on those present to share tales of personal encounters with racism at Harvard. In response, several male black students told stories of not being able hail a cab, or being asked to show their ID cards by officers despite wearing Harvard sweatshirts. After each tale, the crowd chanted “I Am Harvard” as an affirmation of their rightful presence at the University...
