...instant following among minority audiences, then largely spurned them with new programming that went after young white viewers. But while the two networks are fierce competitors, they also operate almost opposite universes. The WB built a lineup of dramas and comedy-dramas with young-female appeal ("Felicity," "Dawson's Creek," "7th Heaven"), while UPN settled into a niche heavy on action and testosterone ("WWF Smackdown!," "Shasta McNasty," the XFL).

...other day, as the town snowplow bullied through, roostering snow, it knocked down the mailbox and left it capsized at a drunken angle in a snowbank. Now snowmelt runs downhill onto the dirt road, which is reduced to quagmire. The car bucks and lurches through rutted mud. The creek rushes and brims...
