24/Savvy Living: Miami, FL Why do we keep hearing about all these great people having such screwed up personal lives?: "Priests and pedophilia" "Heads of government and sex scandals" "Influential business leaders and embezzlement" "Professional athletes and infidelity" And so on...   It may very well be due to...

24/Savvy Living: St. Petersburg, FL It's Saturday night, long ago in the 70's, and you're having dinner at the Café des Artiste with friends when George Lang, the owner, comes to your table to say hello.
