The morning that Bean woke up with a crook in his neck, he did not think much of it. Presumably he had slept in a weird position and would be fine within several minutes. When the crook did not go away until later in the day, after he downed several aspirin, he simply assumed he was coming down w...

Mr. Hertz had a daughter that he didn’t like to talk about. She was 39 (how did she get so old?) and lived in Reno, NV. To Mr. Hertz’s mind, that was about as embarrassing as having her live in a rusty trailer next to his apartment. She worked in the business office of a casino, number fixing...
