...serpent at a high school graduation. No guns and no fatalities, but the network was still worried that it would be Exhibit A if anyone in a cap and gown were injured anywhere in the country. (The show has been rescheduled for next month.) And the Bravo cable network yanked Teen Sniper School, a guess-you-had-to-be-there satirical segment on Michael Moore's show The Awful Truth that imagined students being given course credit for learning to shoot...
...further the mainstream pushes Michael Moore away, the more tenacious he gets. He has been banished all the way to Bravo, and though his new show is not as slick as his last (TV Nation), it's even more hard-hitting. Moore bothers Big Business again, as he does when he invites Humana execs to the mock funeral of a man whose pancreas transplant has been denied by the insurers. It's unusual to find an angry liberal in this economy, but Moore makes a better case for the working guy than any politician out there...
Your article "A Life For A Life" about the racial-murder trial in Jasper, Texas, put me on the verge of tears [NATION, March 8].

Cable used to be the frat basement of television, full of "Skinemax" and foul-mouthed comics, but now you turn to the double digits for CNN, Bravo or American Movie Classics. The cheap thrills are invading network television, under headings like When Good Pets Go Bad, World's Scariest Police Chases and, thanks to a rare kind of genius, the upcoming Cheating Spouses: Caught on Tape. Everyone else can just throw away those MacArthur grant applications now; the Cheating...
Congratulations to my fellow first-years who "ran the route" in this year's Primal Scream, despite the icy face of adversity. Bravo to everyone who chose to ignore the taunts of sideline voyeurs and Purple Hearts to those who sustained injuries from the snowballs of fully clothed cowards. Tradition is one of the cornerstones of Harvard University. Each has special meaning for those Harvard men and women who participate. PETER A. OVERLAND...
