...Ellroy hands will know exactly where, in the year 1968, the headlong plot is aimed. No getting around it: The Cold Six Thousand is an exceedingly nasty piece of work. Yet it is often funny--particularly when the fictional Hoover and Hughes appear-- and traces an unexpectedly moral arc through all its mayhem. Pick it up if you dare; put it down...
...Susanna and the Elders,” one of this year’s newcomers to the museum, a very fleshy Susanna lounges between a pair of men who peer at her connivingly.

...insult to boredom, CBS gave fans a show that did very little to tide them over until NCAA basketball vacates Thursday nights next week. In staying faithful to the arc of the show thus far, tribal council by tribal council, CBS missed a chance to give close readers a tasty treat: More unseen footage of the eight people actually still competing for the million bucks...
