...pack of Marlboros. The following week, during its "Mailbag" segment, 60 Minutes showed portions of the footage again after viewers wrote in to complain about Crowe's habit. In Australia it is illegal to advertise tobacco on television, and last week a judge ruled that whereas the first broadcast was acceptable, the second was gratuitous and therefore the network had violated the rules of its license. As usual, where there's Crowe, there's fire...
...course, there is one worthy alternative for non-cable-ready judges. "24" re-imagined the narrative possibilities of network TV with its innovative editing and real-time plot (one day plays out hour by hour over a whole season) - but on an old-fashioned broadcast network with commercials.

But ISC's ambition goes further than that. By next summer it expects to be able to produce live images direct from cars negotiating the harshest and most spectacularly beautiful courses around the world. It was on a visit to New Zealand that Richards encountered the technology...
...announced that he would be moving to another university where he would be able to act as inappropriately as he pleased all the time, or, as he put it, where he would be “appreciated and respected.” Dean Shinagel, he remarked in an interview broadcast nationally, is the “Saddam Hussein of continuing education.” Asked to explain, Briss continued, “I realize that the analogy is extremely offensive and inappropriate, but Dean Shinagel’s decision to ask me to do my job properly justifies...
