ANIMAL PLANET Unlike those PBS documentaries on cheetahs that high school kids have long enjoyed watching while stoned, the programming on this network is high concept. There is still, however, some gnarly stuff. Crocodile Hunter tracks the boyish-yet-bad-ass Steve Irwin and his wife through Australia, where they pick up snakes and outrun emus. Even those who don't like animals--in fact, especially those who dislike animals--can enjoy Emergency Vets, a cinema-verite take on a Denver veterinary office. Rover and his owner dealing with a run-over paw make great TV. And perhaps the network...
...portrayed as the expendable member, the one who was lucky to be along for the ride, the Ringo. In books he usually has fewer index entries than even Lawford. "One guy wrote that I worked with the Rat Pack occasionally. Occasionally! Another talks about how I kissed Frank's ass. That hurt me a little bit. I know I sound bitter, but I have a right...
...never pass for/ a perfect bride/ or a perfect daughter/ Can it be/ I'm not meant to play this part?" In the end, however, she substitutes one part for another.

Like William Ginsburg, Cacheris can also be chummy with reporters; unlike Ginsburg, his comments to them are more wise than wise-ass. When the New York Times reminded Cacheris last week that Ginsburg had even discussed the infant Monica Lewinsky's "polkehs" (her baby-fat thighs), Cacheris retorted, "Spare...
...faced a possible death sentence until Cacheris secured a life-in-prison plea bargain. But Cacheris is also a natural in the courtroom, "a maestro," as a fellow lawyer puts it, who cross-examines with laserlike ferocity and charms the jury with wit. ("My client is a fool, an ass, a boor!" he once thundered. "But he is not a cold-blooded strangler.") If he and Jacob Stein fail to win immunity for Lewinsky and she ends up in court, the two will probably split the role of courtroom defender--with Cacheris coming off more the showman. Even...
