...when it comes to electing mayors, Americans have never been fussy about character. The mayor can cheat on his taxes or his wife, but if the garbage is picked up and the snow plowed, no one cares very much.

But privately, Hillary expressed pain and dismay. She sought out the husband of one close friend, trying to understand why Bill would be so unfaithful. Did he cheat on his wife? Did he know other men who did? How should she react? How should she feel? Hillary seemed in equal parts puzzled and hurt...
...grounded in reality than anything else on WB is indeed a tribute, though to what is open to debate. The show, which debuted last month and garnered the network its highest ratings ever (3.6 Nielsen points, compared with its average of 2.4), revolves around young women who live, love, cheat and eat a lot of pecan pie in the fashionable Georgia city that gives the show its name. Spelling has made some missteps in the past few years (e.g., University Hospital); with Savannah he has created a series that can rival his own Melrose Place and Beverly Hills...
