Justice—Sure, Bass Professor of Government Michael J. Sandel is a brilliant guy, but who wants to pack up all their stuff and move to Cambridge when you could just as easily have Detective Lennie Briscoe lay down the law for you? And with the 64 different versions of Law and Order on TV these days, you can even specialize your focus on a specific aspect of the law, from criminal intent to special victims...

The midseason comedy gem "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" got a writing nomination while "Six Feet Under," weirdly, got none. And it turns out we critics...
...next morning, our first day of sailing, dawned brilliant and warm. As the sun rose higher, a stiff breeze rolled over the hills of Selayar, and the crew prepared to cast off. The passengers watched rapt as the five-man crew pulled lines taut and the two green and white striped sails caught the wind and filled with a snap. Some guests pitched in to help, others baited hooks and fished off the stern. A few hours later we arrived at a pristine beach surrounded by coral heads at the southern tip of the island. Divers readied their gear...
