Robert Dennis has been on the streets for the past six months, learning everything you need to know about being homeless in Baltimore.He found out how to apply for disability.He found out which soup kitchens serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.And he found the refuge chosen by those who shun the city's homeless shelters -- the parking garage under the George H. Fallon federal office building."I prefer this to the shelters," he said with a grin, settling in last Wednesday evening. "It's closer to all the places you have to go during the day."

Mr. A was the kind of patient no doctor wanted to deal with.A few years ago, he showed up in the office of Dr. Brian A. Fallon, complaining of nonstop headaches, which he was sure meant a brain tumor.Tests showed nothing in the 52-year-old stockbroker's head other than a normal-looking brain. And it was clear to Fallon -- at the time a young psychiatric resident at Columbia University -- that Mr. A had hypochondria.Mr. A, however, was not convinced, says Fallon, who recalled their first meeting.

WASHINGTON -- The child born to Virginia Leigh Fallon of Petaluma, Calif., entered the world last year with heart and breathing problems, and after an extraordinarily difficult labor that ended only when doctors performed a Caesarean section.Yet three days after the birth, the hospital -- under pressure to hold down costs -- discharged mother and son, even though baby Jesse had been diagnosed with a heart murmur and Ms. Fallon was, in her words, "in continuous pain."Several days later, Ms. Fallon told a Senate committee yesterday, Jesse was rushed to the hospital, where emergency heart surgery failed to save the boy's life.

Here we go again with reports that NBC is looking to ditch Jay Leno. But this time, the ditching makes eminent sense. The Hollywood Reporter, citing unnamed sources, says NBC is putting the pieces in place to announce in May that Leno will be replaced in latenight  at the end of the 2013-2014 season by Jimmy Fallon. Why not? Leno, whose contract is up in 2014, is yesterday - and then some. He can still draw overall ratings, but you can't sell overall ratings the way you can sell the 18 to 49 or even 25-54 demographics.

Tuesday night, there was a two-hour report by "Frontline" that explained better than anything I have ever seen on TV how the middle-class got shredded by Wall Street and sold-out by our elected leaders in Washintgon -- and that includes Democrats in the White House.

But all anyone will be talking about this morning is President Barack Obama slow jamming the news with latenight host Jimmy Fallon at the University of North Carolina.

As many of you know, President Barack Obama's announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden interrupted the end of Donald Trump's show, "Celebrity Apprentice," Sunday night.  Jimmy Fallon, who recently broke out his Donald Trump impression over the birth certificate issue, used the impression again last night, perfectly capturing the mix of arrogance and delusion that is The Donald.  "President Obama is so scared of me and so desperate for...

Jimmy Fallon last night broke out his Donald Trump impression -- and demanded additional documents from President Barack Obama.  Fallon's Trump wants to the president to release:  • His driver's license.

")  • His hall passes from middle school.  This would be funny if it wasn't so true -- and that just makes it sad.
