Mentally ill, though, that's another story. "The shadow people," as the psychiatric drama Wonderland (ABC, debuts March 30, 10 p.m. E.T.) calls them, pervade overstressed hospitals and precincts in real life, yet lurk invisible in prime time's institutional dramas. This literate and impeccably executed series, alas, may prove why. From the opening scene of a patients' group session devolving into a shouting match, to the story of a multiple murderer with a Zeus complex, Wonderland all but begs viewers to flip to the comparatively cheery bloodbaths...
...Ramseys begin a drive to convince us that they had nothing to do with JonBenet's slaying. Their memoir The Death of Innocence goes on sale March 17, and the same day the Ramseys begin a string of TV appearances with a 40-min. Barbara Walters interview on ABC's 20/20 Friday...
While preparing for the interview, ABC journalists turned up tidbits that will be new to all but JonBenet junkies. For instance, the network will air never published photos taken outside JonBenet's house the morning after she was killed that are remarkable for what they don't depict: snow.

Morris plans to continue First Person (he's finished 11 episodes), saying it's a relief from the long process of making feature documentaries: "I've always had more ideas than time." With his new outlet, he sounds as excited as a guy who's just landed a really, really big squid...
President Clinton and the National Rifle Association have never enjoyed a warm and cozy relationship, but on Sunday the level of rancor reached new heights - a preview, perhaps, of the battle to come. ABC?s "This Week" aired an interview with the President in which he blasted the NRA's "ruthlessly brutal" tactics in defeating gun control legislation. After listening to the President's remarks, LaPierre fired back with a savage accusation: "I believe Clinton needs a certain level of violence in this country," the NRA official told a visibly startled Cokie Roberts. "He's willing to accept a certain...
