...Indeed, the 20 new series making their bow this fall add up to a veritable pride of prejudices. CBS's "Bridget Loves Bernie" concerns a well-heeled Catholic girl who falls for a poor Jewish cab driver. In last week's episode they got married and promptly gave birth to dozens of Jewish-Catholic in-law gags.

Interior Minister Emanuil Yordanov said he would resign if police did not find the boy's killer within days. The discovery of the child's body in a city park only hours after his street abduction provoked widespread anger among citizens who say authorities do little to curb violent crime. Prime Minister Ivan Kostov said parliament would hold an extraordinary meeting to discuss the crisis, amid opposition calls for the government's resignation...
