...find formulas they recognize, but the passion and spontaneity with which they are carried out makes one thing certain: The most routine program on Univision is a thousand times more compelling than the sad fare being offered up on Nick at Night these days (when "Facts of Life" becomes "classic TV," it's time to fold up your tents, fellas...

...does Bush see in Freeh? Possibly a counterweight to attorney general nominee John Ashcroft, who is backed by certain libertarian conservatives who are deeply skeptical of all government power and are determined to rein in the FBI's power to conduct wiretaps and cyber-surveillance of suspects.

The situation is much like the classic movie scene in which the good guy faces the cornered villain and the dilemma of whether to shoot.

...going to talk about flawless little gentlemen, I don't think Harry is one. But he's an old soul compared to Ron, who's just your classic 14-year-old. I see Harry as an old soul. And you meet kids like that; I've taught kids like that. They are my people. I like those kids...
