...with derision in Belgrade. No one's laughing now. In just over a year, the K.L.A. has transformed itself from a disorganized network of bandits into a presentable, if limited, guerrilla army.

Already they have killed hundreds of Serb security forces in ambushes and sniper attacks. By last week, as the Yugoslavs massed some...

...remake of John Cleese's classic '70s British sitcom, Fawlty Towers, Payne (Wednesday, 8 p.m. E.T., CBS) stars Larroquette as a cranky, stingy hotelier undermined by his dominating wife (JoBeth Williams) and his own incompetence.

Hmmm...that sounds like a question from "The Dating Game"...I think I would be more robust--I could be a classic snowman from the waist down, but I'D like my chest to be kind of robust and large. I'd have a top hat, a dashing top hat. And a scarf, and a pleasant smile--a smile that says "I'm a snowman, and I'm proud to be a snowman." Like, SNOWMAN...
