...abrasive New York tabloid columnist who manages to solve crime capers with a class of journalism students on the side. The over-the-top first couple of episodes combine "L&O"?style forensicism with the supposedly colorful antics of a suite of journalistic clich?s, played by a misused cast of fine actors (Bebe Neuwirth, Lili Taylor, Hope Davis), and neither element works here. Some have suggested the producers, who consulted New York journalists in developing the series, could have done their homework better. I say they probably did it too well.

The supporting cast were no longer filtered through the chief, but had voices of their own. And, most surprisingly, Cornwell offered the perspective of the criminals, whose disturbing fantasies are rife with lust, murder, and mutilation.

There is a symbiosis between the culture of child anxiety and the politics of it. TV shows reap ratings off the fears of parents. The anxieties those shows stoke benefit politicians who campaign on law and order and who cast themselves as child protectors. Politicians like, say, Mark Foley, who made his political name as chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. "Now, more than ever," Foley wrote with Senator Orrin Hatch in the Washington Times last year, "we need to stand together and unite cities, communities and states in the effort to stop the assault...
