...scheduling logic behind this week's rerun is worth mentioning. March Madness is a hallowed tradition at CBS, and good demographics to boot - a pre-emption was out of the question. But if you're wondering why CBS, after pulling off last Wednesday's Week 8 with its ratings unruffled, didn't just run its Week 9 show Wednesday night, I've got two words for you: May sweeps. May sweeps is two weeks long, and the two final episodes of "Survivor 2" will do very big business. But 16 weeks just weren't enough to get "Survivor 2" from...

...black leather, from the points of her high-collared vest to the toes of her knee-high boots. He is all doughy hairy skin as he lies prostate on the dungeon floor, except for a tight, black patent-leather thong that squeezes rolling hills from his plump hips. She leans over the man's rump, rubs a furry cheek for aim, cocks her hand a good meter back and delivers a thunderclap wallop.

...Keith is pulling an image rehab that would make Nixon proud. With public opinion turning against Jerri, the whiny, sad-sack chef to the stars (two presidents, he said) is looking socially acceptable and a cool hand at the immunity challenges to boot. Tina gave him the last one, but this week's - a seriously convoluted pole-and-rope puzzle in which the most squares won - was all Chef. Following Jerri, he slapped down 17 placards like he was afraid of running out of them, and sweetest of sweet ironies, it was Jerri...

Earnhardt had been a wild-child teenager, as reckless as they come and headed for nowhere, but he grew up to be his sport's father figure, Dad without the breaks, and a corporate titan to boot. He could regale a crowd of GM dealers with war stories for an hour--Mr. Charm--then shift gears in a heartbeat, chiding drivers who wanted to slow the cars down as "candy asses." He made tens of millions of dollars racing and tens of millions more running Dale Earnhardt Inc., but even at 49, a man of considerable responsibilities and with nothing...

...people just have a way with babies. Unfortunately, it is often someone other than the baby's parents. My aunt Lena, for instance, has an uncanny ability to read a baby's cries. Lena, who has six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, has run our family's unofficial "baby boot camp" for three generations. New parents in our clan will show up at her house with their eyes pinwheeling from exhaustion, only to have Lena quickly dispense her diagnosis: "This baby's so tired. Why on earth don't you put him to bed?" If she likes you, she will...
