...much beneficence can one show bestow? Already credited with justifying the paychecks of ABC executives and resuscitating family television viewing, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is now inspiring Americans to support struggling authors. Last week, as part of his affable banter, host REGIS PHILBIN asked contestant BRAD HERZOG, a freelance magazine writer, about his book States of Mind, an American travelogue released last year by a small North Carolina publisher.

...Abba-loving Aussie, weds a handsome Olympic swimmer she does not know so that the Olympic committee can consider him an Australian for competition. One of the movie's taglines claims, "She's not just getting married, she's getting even." Muriel was ostensibly rebelling against the ridicule and banter she endured as a lonely single woman. The film evoked pity and sympathy from audiences across the globe...
