The Calorie-Packed Perk

nytimes.com — Within my first week of working at a start-up, I acquired a gut. The reason was obvious: there was free food everywhere, it was delicious and I was nervous. Within five days I was heaving my stomach around like a kettle bell and crossly preparing, and then ignoring, cups of green tea.

Where Did You Go for Your Bra, Mrs. Robinson?

I declined, which was a probably a mistake, because the next thing you know, driving back home to Tennessee, he is sending me a picture of the fishing rod he has just bought for me and speaking enthusiastically about trout fishing.

Once Tough Guy, Now Nurturer

By Melena Ryzik
nytimes.com — "What the hell is happening now?" James Gandolfini asked, not quite smiling, at the start of an interview last week. Mr. Gandolfini is not big on interviews; journalists who mention his most famous role, playing the mob boss Tony Soprano, get swatted away. "I never think about him, ever," Mr. Gandolfini, 49, said.
