Harvard Law School lecturer Stephen G. Breyer, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, was nominated Friday to replace outgoing Justice Harry A. Blackmun on the Supreme Court...
...Conan's own penchant for past-hipster 1950's graphics and classic Hollywood photo stills, and a first-rate jazz ensemble fading to commerical with bop-style selections. The peppering of slightly-off Lampoon humor and cutting-edge musical guests propels the show out of the starchy promotion-circuit interview format. After nearly nine months of gestating under constant media scrutiny of the now-hyper-commercialized late night niche, the energy at the tapings has perceptibly and sharply mounted to a proudly fevered level since times of leaner demand, which were as recent as January.

Ziglar has been doing this and writing best-selling books with titles like See You at the Top for more than 30 years. He gets paid $30,000 up front for each appearance on the Success circuit, quite a bit less than half of what Reagan and Schwarzkopf collect.

The most heinous acts get a round of applause on the talk-show circuit, as if confession were a substitute for contrition. Forgiveness has its place, but so does retribution. There's a way well short of lashing an American abroad to restore the notion that acts have consequences, and it could have started in the Senate with two fewer stars for Admiral Kelso...
