| | | Getting Stuck: Uninsured Patients Slammed with Lawsuits by Not-for-Profit Hospital BY DIANNA WRAY  Car horns blared and the 5 o'clock traffic stacked up behind him as Ignacio Alaniz rolled back under his car to try to start the engine again. As he lay there, touching the wire to divert the starter on the ancient white Buick Century, he heard a click as the car jolted alive and popped into gear. Seconds before it happened, flat on his back on the cool pavement that January night in 2012, belly pressed against the metal works, Alaniz realized he was about to be run over by his own car. More than 3,000 pounds of metal smashed across his chest. He heard the snap of his ribs, the sharp crack of bone as the front wheel and then the back slammed into his torso.

The building on the corner of Westheimer and Taft has previously been home to at least three other restaurants — La Strada, Caffe Bello and, finally, Don Julio — t... more >> | | | | | | | | The To Do List Is, at Least, a Welcome Start BY ALAN SCHERSTUHL  Like first sex, writer-director Maggie Carey's debut feature, The To Do List, is quick and messy, fitfully pleasurable, full of promise but not quite adept at getting everyone off. It's an impossibly huge deal yet also a modest achievement, something we have to go through but that will no doubt be improved upon later. Here, at last, is the first raunchy mainstream comedy about a young woman's que... more >> | | | | | | Eating Our Words I am not what one might call a steak aficionado.
