Paul and her designer, John Robert Wiltgen, refuse to discuss the price for such luxury, in part because it’s included in a renovation of the entire 1924 house, in part because the chandelier hasn’t even been ordered yet. But in general, an adequate budget for a top-of-the-line master bath runs about $50,000, half of what people might pay for a kitchen of the same quality.

This isn’t an area that’s been researched, which is understandable—it’s not one of our worst symptoms by any stretch, and it also doesn’t appear to be one of the more common ones. Because of the lack of research, we have to rely on trial and error and the experiences of others with this illness to learn about our hair-related problems.

Following Fields from burlesque to vaudeville, from juggling to comedy and finally into radio and film, Louvish chronicles not only a life but a concise history of early-20th-century entertainment. But while this novelist and film scholar is erudite, he is never pedantic, and he knows when to shut up. ““It is no part of this book,’’ he wisely admits, ““to explain why W. C.

That’s where “Look,” the acclaimed new film by writer-director Adam Rifkin, comes in—and it’s likely to shock you. Shot entirely through the point of view of security cameras (and co-produced by Barry Schuler, the former head of AOL), the film is executed in the style of actual spy-cam footage strung together but is actually a fictional tale aimed at giving viewers a glimpse of just how public our private lives have become....
