FRIENDS CLONES ARE PILING UP like drifts this season. Viewers of such shows as Caroline in the City and Partners have been inundated by a flurry of awful blind dates, a blizzard of mistaken sexual identities, a foot and a half to two feet of jokes ending with the punch line "Anna Nicole Smith." And yet, to the credit of these comedies, rarely--if ever--do they pause for a would-be-poignant, piano-accompanied contemplation of the world's social ills.

With networked microcomputers, cellular phones and video conferencing available, an enemy leader can disperse his command centers to many locations, making it difficult for an attacker to destroy them all.

Last month he had to dodge a blizzard. A picture arriving late from Los Angeles was grounded by snow in Chicago. It made it into the building at 7 p.m. Saturday, barely beating our final deadline. To do this week's painting of the O.J. Simpson trial, Smith chose Jon Ellis, whose vivid style lends itself to the circus motif-and who delivered...
