...directorial sneer. Keaton rarely lets a remark or a film sequence run complete; instead she bends its intent to her skewed reading. The interviewees are photographed through cookie-cutout shadows, distracting the audience as well as the subjects. These are the techniques of a filmmaker short on trust, and the condescending tone rankles throughout. Sitting through Heaven is like a painful promotion to glory...
...have daughters 28 and 25. The older one is doing well, but the younger has been in drug rehab four times and now has a very modest job and apartment. In writing our wills (assets about $3 million), we are unsure how to leave a medical trust for her. Any money she receives will be ill spent. If her sister is the trustee, that will destroy what's left of their relationship. My accountant says his firm does this service. But how can I be sure the fees won't eat up the trust?

...living a parent's nightmare. Setting up a trust in your will is wise, and so is having a professional trustee. But choose carefully.

You might also provide more access to money after a specified period of being clean. Incentives, however, will tend to protect your money more than motivate your daughter, says David Crausman, a psychologist...
...largest graveyard. Ronald Rubin Topanga, California, U.S. Sharing Journalists' Notes Time's decision to turn over Cooper's reporting notes [July 18] is akin to negotiating with terrorists. It only emboldens enemies of the First Amendment. The issue is not about Time magazine. It is about the public trust that you hold. Or at least held. Valarie S. Zeeck Tacoma, Washington, U.S. Time did the right thing. As a lawyer and a Democrat, I wish the Supreme Court had heard Time's appeal and protected the confidentiality of its reporter's sources. Still, I applaud Pearlstine for making the principled...
