...most conventional HBO drama in years. If you took away the nudity and profanity from The Wire and Six Feet Under, they still couldn't air on network TV: their morality is too vague, their characters are too complex. Clean up Carnivale, and you'd have something not unlike ABC's spooky Miracles from last season. Carnivale's myth and Manichaeism may lure viewers inside the tent, but weirdness is merely a dime-store novelty. Capturing the ambiguities of life and of people is still the most elusive magic...

Dean sometimes seems not so much the angriest man in politics but the most bemused. At a July 15 forum sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, a gay political group, moderator Sam Donaldson of ABC grilled Senator John Kerry, who is favored over Dean by many in the Democratic Party establishment, on why he supports allowing gay couples all the rights that married straight couples enjoy except the right to be called married.
