Remember key parties? Ang Lee’s latest, THE ICE STORM, takes us back to swinging 1973 in suburban Connecticut, when all those nice upper-middle-class parents tried to keep up with the sexual revolution. After a few joints and a lot of Scotch, hubby threw his car keys into a bowl, another man’s wife picked them out and the two were expected to head off to bed. Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Allen, Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood head an intergenerational cast in this drama of miniskirts and shaky marriages....

Drug-eluting stents were hailed as a “breakthrough technology” in 2003 and 2004, when the FDA approved the Cypher and Taxus stents, respectively. Like the bare-metal stents that preceded them, these tiny wire-mesh scaffolds were designed to prop open narrowed blood vessels (a problem known as stenosis), reducing the chest pain known as angina.

For the third straight season, the official start to the NWSL competitive campaign took place with the Challenge Cup. The tournament served as the appetizer ahead of the 22-game regular season, which officially kicked off on April 29.

Love did not even know he would be the Packers’ starting quarterback on Sunday until Wednesday, when Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19, and he had just a few days to prepare to face the Chiefs.

If you have an HMO or an EPO, your health plan likely won’t pay one dime of the cost of your non-emergency out-of-network care unless you get a network gap exception (because these plans generally don’t cover out-of-network care)....
