Comment of the day:

Reader Laura on An American Tragedy:

As a woman married to a younger man (and we have two children together), I find the whole “cougar” thing insulting the way that the degradation of all male-female relationships is now insulting: trite, flippant, shallow, insecure, oversexualized, and uncommitted. EVERY male-female relationship is portrayed on TV like that – why would May-December romances be any different?

What to watch for:

• Bon Jovi, Hillary Clinton, and Lech Walesa will celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall Monday.

• New study finds that babies can have accents before they can even talk.

• New movie: The Men Who Stare at Goats

• You can use Google to see what it says about you.

• LeBron James faces Knicks only time this season.

• Pres. Obama will meet with newly elected U.S Rep. Bill Owens.

• A bill targeting the reptilian trade, specifically concerning pythons, will be considered in the House today.
