The Times must stop this vicious campaign against our most festive family bird.'' The broadcaster granted that it might not be the best-tasting food in the world. ``Maybe, like coffee, it smells better than it tastes,'' he said. Still, he noted that the American bird stands as a ``symbol of plenty, of festivity, of family - and of love.'' ``If Marcel Proust n. 1. A French novelist (1871-1922). Noun 1.

Career zooms without Cruise Mimi Rogers' reaction to the fact many people think of her as the first Mrs. Tom Cruise and a Scientologist? Borrrrrrrring. The actress, who has gotten good reviews for her role as Barbra Streisand's kid sister in ``The Mirror Has Two Faces'' and carved out a niche in independent films, finds both topics tiresome. ``You do get to the point where certain questions just cause your eyes to glaze over glaze over Verb to become dull through boredom or inattention: the listener's eyes glaze over Verb 1. . It's the sort of thing that makes you dread being interviewed, only because talking about yourself in a certain way is just unbearably boring,'' she says.
