"It's the kind of thing you expect to happen in America," said a visibly upset anchorman on German television. With its tough gun-control laws and a murder rate less than a quarter of the U.S.'s, Germany is not exactly a hotbed of random gun violence. But just as with the 1996 shooting that killed 18 in an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, a single...
...atmosphere inside rai is atrocious," said the state TV reporter. Still, the private network has its own inherent limits: Mediaset's vice president is the Prime Minister's son, Piersilvio Berlusconi. Mentana thinks Berlusconi Sr. should unload his TV holdings.

Harris, fortuitously enough, is also a researcher on CBS's still-ticking Sunday-night newsmagazine. After overhearing Wallace singing around...
...from Florida's space coast (he once rode the space shuttle) has focused less on national issues than on state concerns such as hurricanes. He admits his clashes with the insurance lobby over exorbitant storm coverage "have definitely reconsolidated" the state's fraying Democratic base. Nelson, with his TV-anchorman looks, is also aided by the impeachment-trial image of the owlish McCollum lecturing like a high school teacher about lust. "I'm a moderate Democrat vs. an arch-conservative Republican," says Nelson. "Pure and simple...
