Set us as preferred One thing is obvious upon reading Sylvester Stallone’s memoir “The Steps”: He’s no nepo baby. No one ever gave him a leg up, or pulled favors on his behalf. This breezy and insightful book, which takes the movie icon from the slums of New York to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, triumphant on Oscar night, is a sobering reminder of just how far Sta

In her new book “On the Mark: From Periods to Interrobangs, How Punctuation Remade the World,” author Florence Hazrat argues fo
