...since 1881, is as rigidly conservative as his Democratic predecessor, six-term Senator James Eastland. In three terms as a Congressman, Cochran ran up a 95% voting approval rating from the American Conservative Union and a zero approval rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action. Cochran has a boyish charm and is an easygoing, relaxed campaigner. He has consistently drawn votes from both parties and run up increasingly large winning margins (as high as 78%) in his congressional campaigns. He won last week in a three-way race against Democratic Attorney Maurice Dantin of Columbia and Independent Mayor Charles...
...cowboy (Keith Carradine) who has just spent the night in McCabe's frontier whorehouse, starts across a footbridge to purchase supplies for his trip home. He is confronted by a young gunman, one of three sent by a business conglomerate to coerce McCabe into selling out. The gunman, blond, boyish, and innocent-looking, asks Carradine what kind of gun he has. Carradine tells him, sheepishly admitting that he really doesn't know how to use it. "Come on, let me see it," the blond youth insists; as Carradine begins to withdraw the gun, the young gunman shoots him, and watches...

...with paranormal powers among ordinary people is a classic conceit used by many television shows, including Bewitched, My Favorite Martian and I Dream of Jeannie. But Williams' pastiche of mime, light-speed improvisation and complex clowning is giving that one-joke vehicle a new velocity. Delivered with his engagingly boyish grin and calculated inflections, such gibberish as "nano, nano" (meaning hello) and "nimnul" (meaning jerk) can send audiences?and producers?into paroxysms of delight: last week the show shot up to seventh place in the Nielsens. "This guy is going to be a superstar with or without this series," observes...
...Stoltzman, 36, is challenging all that. A short, engagingly boyish virtuoso who has chosen a solo career over an orchestra seat, Stoltzman has an almost magical rapport with his instrument. His recent sell-out appearance in the Mostly Mozart series at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, where he wore a velvet jacket and what he calls his "dress sneakers," turned into a celebration of the clarinet's possibilities. In Mozart's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in A Major, which he performed with the Tokyo String Quartet, Stoltzman glided effortlessly through long, sustained phrases. He caressed his instrument...
