...FIRST-EVER on-air review--of Magic, starring Anthony Hopkins as a creepy ventriloquist--Emmy- winning Joel Siegel, the longtime movie critic and entertainment editor for ABC's Good Morning America, argued with a surly puppet. The bit went well and reminded him over the next three decades that "every day is an on-air audition." Siegel guided viewers with his encyclopedic knowledge and wit, enthusiastically hailing the films he liked as "Great!" and injecting pans with New York City--style humor (of Players, he said some whitefish he had eaten "showed more emotion than Ali MacGraw does...
...data network, its call capabilities and its 3G, high-speed data system.

The sociable manager, Matthew Siegel, beckons me from a packed bar out onto the street and down to a quiet doorway some meters yonder. It reminds me of going for a cigarette in the old days, but this time the pleasures are more sublime...

To describe the air inside as "smelling strongly of cheese" is not quite capturing it; it is as if the air comprises nothing but swirling molecules of brie and stilton, violently bombarding your person like so many solar particles. Arrayed on the shelves, in perfect storage conditions, are golden wheels whose names speak of rainswept farms, dark cellars and expense: Ardrahan Large, Innes Log, Stinking Bishop, Ticklemore...
