...sense, make an above-the-fray Clinton more popular as he benefits from a sympathy surge. But it remains to be seen whether Gingrich can manage a strategy that requires patience and restraint--traits not always evident in a Speaker who once cited his pique over having to exit Air Force One through the rear door as a reason for shutting down the government...
...other hand, the decision to air this nonsense reflects a considerable insensitivity on UPN's part. Pfeiffer is ridiculous, even by sitcom standards. The network has enjoyed so much success in attracting black viewers (who last season made up 45% of its prime-time audience) that it may have deluded itself into thinking that African Americans will tolerate whatever it deigns to throw at them, regardless of the quality. There's a good way for black viewers and everyone else to disabuse them of that patronizing notion: emancipate themselves from the TV set the moment Pfeiffer comes...
...Baker arrives, CPR is still going on; the code team has shoved a tube down Marilyn's throat to pump air into her lungs. Baker prays with Del Castilho as the doctors push epinephrine and atropine through an IV. Briefly, there seems hope of stabilization, and Yopp is wheeled to the medical ICU. But two hours later, after multiple IV infusions, resident Timm Dickfeld takes one last turn at CPR, punishing Yopp's chest almost savagely, then stops. "Call the code," says someone. "Call it." Dickfeld finally accedes. "Over," he says. He makes a chopping gesture. Yopp is dead...
...divas, when they are not scarfing down pasta, are outrageously unreliable. The imperious troublemaker Kathleen Battle, feeling chilly in a limo in Los Angeles, is said to have telephoned her manager in New York City and ordered him to call her driver to ask him to turn down the air conditioning. A nervous Deborah Voigt, waiting backstage for her entrance, absentmindedly ate a prop chicken. Opera buffs will munch happily too on these nuggets...
...would do well to steer clear of a disturbingly similar new noisemaker. Trendmaster's C-Watches ($20) sport an LCD screen with a cartoon character that speaks the time out loud and makes various inane comments throughout the day. Kids can choose from the flatulent Mr. Tooty, an air-headed Girly Girl or an ill-humored Hothead. Luckily, there's a kill switch for the sound effects...
